The truck was stuck on September 6 after a pothole fell on it near The National Highway 48 Waghodia Bridge passing through Vadodara. This led to a huge traffic jam. People were seen stranded for four-five hours in this traffic jam. Along with this, the traffic-police and the patrolling supervisor of the National Highway Authority of India also rushed to the spot. He carried out the task of pulling out the truck with the help of a crane. At present, the work of filling up the potholes lying on the highway has been started on a war footing, but the road from Ahmedabad to Surat has seen heavy traffic jams. Motorists have been stranded for 3-4 hours Bhaskar reached motorists trapped in a jam on the highway. The drivers expressed their pain to Bhaskar and said that they were stuck in the jam for the last 3-4 hours. It takes 4-4 hours to reach 2 km A truck driver said, "I have been stuck in traffic for 4-5 hours. There is a 7-8 km jam at the back. He criticized the government, saying that it is taking 4-4 hours to reach 2 km, what better can the government do than that. The truck has been stuck since last night Shoaib Pathan, the driver of the truck, said that the truck was stuck around 9 pm last night. Two tyres of the truck have burst and the crane owner has also taken money. I've been upset all night. One crane works and the other crane is called. I have suffered a loss of around 50,000. Even when the rain was stopped for 15-20 days, the road work has not been done. Tinabhai Thakkar, a local, said, "I want to talk about the problem of this road. The road has been under construction for the last three years, but the problem of potholes and waterlogging persists every year. The main reason for this is improper engineering. The road is constructed in such a way that rainwater gets clogged, leading to potholes. If engineering is done properly, such as creating a water gradient or cleaning the sewer gap, the water will drain out and this problem will be reduced. This problem increases every year and especially now when the rains were stopped for 15-20 days, the road work has not been done. More than 2 feet deep and 10-20 feet long potholes pose a risk of overturning vehicles He further said that these potholes are very large. The potholes, which are more than 2 feet deep and 10-20 feet long, cause vehicles, especially small four-wheelers and trucks, to overturn, which becomes especially dangerous in the dark. At least as an immediate solution, the pit should be filled by adding concrete or concrete. Proper engineering and responsible attention is required to solve this problem. The local administration should take immediate action in this regard. The work of filling the pit was started The patrolling supervisor of the National HighwayAuthor, who did not wish to be named, said, "I received a call that we have come for the vehicle being stuck. The work of removing the vehicle is underway. Traffic will become normal and work to fill these potholes has also been started. The work will start in 20 minutes. Long queues of vehicles at Jambuwabridge too With this, for the third consecutive day, Jambuwabridge, Porbridge and Bamangam Bridge have become headaches. Due to the narrowness of these three bridges and the road on it is bad, the speed of the vehicle slows down. Due to this, there is a long queue of vehicles on the highway. There is a traffic jam on the bridge even today. Motorists have been in trouble due to traffic jams since this morning. A 15-km-long traffic jam was reported on Jambuwa bridge yesterday. Yesterday, a 15-km-long traffic jam was created on Jambuwa bridge, due to which motorists were stuck in traffic jam for about 24 hours. Motorists were stuck in traffic jams for 4-4 hours. Due to this, there was a lot of anger among the drivers. Why are there more traffic jams here so often? There are huge potholes on 11 bridges on the 25-km highway from Jambuwa's narrow bridge to Dumad Chowki. This leads to a traffic jam. While there is a narrow two-lane bridge on Vishwamitri Bridge, there is also a traffic jam. One is the bridge narrow and the other is the potholes in which motorists have to get stuck. A wide bridge has been sanctioned over Vishwamitri Bridge, however, people will get relief from traffic jams only after the construction of this bridge, from where the road to Dena and Dumad Chowki is bad. Due to this, the drivers have been harassed. Traffic diverted to National Highway after Gambhirabridge accident On the other hand, people going from Vadodara to Por, Bharuch, Ankleshwar and Dahej for jobs and businesses are also unable to reach the job or place of business on time due to traffic jams and reach one to two hours late every day. Apart from this, an additional petrol and diesel of 300 to 400 rupees is also blown away. On the other hand, traffic has also increased due to the diversion of traffic to the National Highway after the Gambhirabridge accident.
