Chakeri-Pali Four-lane Project Kicks Off After Two-Year Delay, Promises Traffic Relief

• Construction of the greenfield four-lane road from Chakeri to Pali via Goriya has finally begun after a two-year delay.
• The project was stalled due to incomplete land acquisition, which the PWD has now expedited.
• The road will be widened from 7 meters to 28.50 meters, costing 138 crore rupees (100 crore for land, 38 crore for construction).
• A Railway Overbridge (ROB) at Chakeri Crossing, costing 60 crore rupees, is also proposed to ease railway crossing jams.
• Local residents and industrialists anticipate significant relief from traffic congestion and accelerated industrial development.
