LUCKNOW: The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has unveiled an ambitious plan to redesign and remodel 12 major traffic intersections across the city at an estimated cost of ₹7.39 crore. The project aims to address persistent traffic congestion issues plaguing the Uttar Pradesh capital.
Key Intersections for Renovation:
- Madhurima
- Piccadilly
- Powerhouse
- Krishna Nagar
- Alambagh
- Narora
- Sarvodaya Nagar
- Daliganj
- Koneshwar
- IIM Road Green Corridor

Notable Features

- Madhurima intersection will get a new island to manage increased traffic from the Vibhuti Khand railway station
- Daliganj rotary will be re-engineered to facilitate U-turns from both directions
According to LDA Vice Chairman Prathamesh Kumar, the redesign will incorporate safety measures in compliance with Indian Road Congress (IRC) standards. The majority of the remodeling work will be conducted during nighttime to minimize traffic disruption.
Implementation
- Tendering process is set to begin shortly
- Contracts will be awarded following the completion of the tender process
- Work will primarily be carried out during night hours
The project not only focuses on improving traffic flow but also aims to enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of these intersections. This initiative comes in response to longtime complaints from city residents about chaotic traffic conditions at these crucial junctions. The LDA’s comprehensive plan represents a significant step toward modernizing Lucknow’s traffic infrastructure and improving urban mobility for its residents.
