Repair work by the National Highways Authority of India on a 1.5-km stretch of the Delhi-Ghaziabad Expressway near Ghazipur has caused significant traffic congestion, especially during peak hours. Lane restrictions and barricades have narrowed the carriageway, leading to long delays and slow-moving traffic for daily commuters. Some residents have criticized the slow progress, lack of adequate signage, and absence of traffic management, which have exacerbated the situation. The repair work is expected to continue until June 2026.
