In a recent meeting of the AUDA (Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority) board, several proposals were discussed, including the plan to widen the main carriageway of the Sardar Patel Ring Road to six lanes.

With over 1 lakh vehicles passing daily through the AUDA Ring Road, which is currently four lanes, will be expanded to six lanes. 

The project will be divided into two packages: Phase 1 will cover a 37-kilometre stretch in the eastern part of Ahmedabad, while Phase 2 will cover a 39.254-kilometre stretch in the western part. The estimated cost of the project is around ₹2,200 crore, and the tender process will begin soon after finalising the proposal.

In addition, two new three-lane bridges will be constructed on both sides of the Bhat and Kamod Hayat bridges over the Sabarmati River. To alleviate the traffic burden at Bhat Circle, Chiloda Circle, and Aslali Circle, six-lane underpasses will be built. Furthermore, new two-lane underpasses will be constructed on both sides of the Tragad underpass.

Other proposals discussed include the construction of six-foot overbridges for residents of the TP (Town Planning) schemes around the Ring Road to safely cross the road.

These plans aim to ease traffic congestion and improve connectivity in the city.
