Traffic Diversions Enforced on NH-48 for Manesar Elevated Road Construction

Authorities have implemented traffic diversions and restrictions on heavy commercial vehicles along a six-kilometre stretch of NH-48 near Manesar to facilitate construction of an elevated road. The National Highways Authority of India is overseeing the project, estimated at around ₹47 crore. Heavy vehicles are being redirected via the KMP Expressway and alternative routes between 9am and 9pm daily, with exemptions for emergency and essential service vehicles. Traffic police have increased enforcement and issued advisories to minimize congestion and illegal parking during the trial and construction phases.
