Ahmedabad: AMC soon to install noise barriers on 2 flyovers

Residents living near busy flyovers and railway overbridges in Ahmedabad might soon find relief from the relentless noise pollution. In response to persistent complaints from those living in the vicinity of these structures, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) is set to experiment with noise barriers aimed at curbing the din from traffic.

Currently, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has installed noise barriers on the SG Highway flyover, yielding significant noise reduction in the surrounding areas.

Inspired by this success, the AMC has decided to implement noise barriers on a pilot basis on the Income-Tax flyover and the Thakkarbapa Nagar flyover.

The effectiveness of these barriers will be closely monitored to gauge their impact on noise pollution.
