National Highways Authority Of India [NHAI] — Traffic snarls on Durgapur Expressway NH2

Address:

Dankuni, NH2

We were going to Kolkata from Durgapur via Durgapur expressway on 30th October morning. At around 10:30am there was a huge traffic jam from Dankuni Toll Plaza to Nivedita setu. It took us almost 1 hour to reach Nivedita Setu from Dankuni Toll plaza. Even after paying such a huge toll tax, road condition is very poor and traffic condition is the worst of kind. It does not give an impression of an expressway. While returning from Kolkata to Durgapur at around 4:30 PM on the same day, I noticed even worse traffic on the other side i.e. Dankuni to Kolkata. There was a large more than 1 KM traffic jam on Dankuni Toll plaza towards Kolkata.

Moreover, there is no traffic check to control errant drivers. Large trucks are changing lanes at their will without any indicator. Some drivers are driving dangerously. There are some police vans occasionally visible. But they are mute spectators without doing anything.

It's my earnest request to for strict vigilance on the expressway to make travels safer, make road conditions better to drive and reduce traffic woes
