Areas like Maligaon, Fancy Bazar, AT Road, Bishnupur, Rukminigaon and parts of Six Mile remain heavily congested, mainly due to ongoing construction of flyovers and deteriorating road conditions. One of the most affected routes at the moment is between Paltan Bazar and Lokhara, where the average travel time has now stretched to 1.5 hours, a significant jump from before.
Rukminigaon, in particular, has become a traffic hub due to the construction of the flyover in the area, resulting in near-standstill conditions. “It took me about 40 minutes to cross a section that is barely one kilometer,” a frustrated passenger told G Plus. “That’s ridiculous.”
An official from the Guwahati Traffic Police also acknowledged the ongoing traffic problems, but assured residents that improvements are expected after the construction of the flyover is completed. “We understand the delays, especially around Rukminigaon. But once the work is finished, the traffic situation will improve,” the official told G Plus, adding that efforts are being made to manage the current congestion.
With no immediate solution in sight, commuters across Guwahati continue to endure long delays as construction work progresses for now.
