GUWAHATI: The foot over bridge construction in the GS Road stretch of Guwahati has caused a lot of woes for the daily commuters.
Heavy traffic jam can be seen in the peripheries of the construction site every day.

Currently, there are two constructions going on: one before the Post Office signal and the other in front of JBs.
As such, travelling in the GS Road has hindered the daily commuters. "Commuting towards Khanapara has become a herculean task because of these constructions. We have to cross more than two such congested points whenever we have to visit Sonapur or Khanapara," Guwahati resident Megha Jain told G Plus.
Residents have also complained that the proposed escalators will reduce the space of the GS Road, thereby causing more traffic.
Meanwhile, the Public Works Department (PWD) justified their decision to construct the escalator backed foot over bridge. G Plus spoke to PWD Executive Engineer who revealed that the space utilised by the escalator has only taken up the existing parking spaces.
