Commuters traveling through Chandigarh must plan their daily journeys accordingly as the local administration has announced a temporary one-way traffic closure on the crucial Sarovar Path (V-3 Road) starting from Monday, September 7, 2026. The traffic restriction, which will remain in force until September 14, has been necessitated by extensive road recarpeting and repair works underway along the stretch connecting Sectors 50 and 51. With vehicular movement expected to experience considerable slowdowns in the area, authorities have urged residents and daily office-goers to exercise caution and factor in extra travel time.
Details of the Sector 50 and 51 Recarpeting Work
The ongoing infrastructure project is designed to upgrade and improve the deteriorating road surface of Sarovar Path, ensuring a smoother and safer transit experience for motorists once completed. However, to facilitate heavy machinery and uninterrupted paving work between Sectors 50 and 51, the local traffic police have cordoned off one side of the arterial road. While the administration acknowledges the temporary inconvenience caused to the public, they emphasize that these timely infrastructural upgrades are vital for long-term road safety and durability across the Union Territory.
Advisory for Commuters: Use Alternative Routes to Avoid Jams
To prevent severe traffic congestion and gridlocks during peak commuting hours, the Chandigarh traffic administration has strongly advised motorists to opt for designated alternative routes. Drivers navigating the southern sectors are encouraged to utilize parallel internal roads and adjoining arterial pathways to bypass the construction zone. Furthermore, motorists crossing areas near the worksite have been urged to drive at reduced speeds, follow all temporary diversion signage, and fully cooperate with on-ground traffic personnel to maintain smooth vehicular flow and safety.
