So my city is getting this metro above the ground and not underground like subway system. And it's such a pain to see the traffic that is being caused due to the construction work. The metro is meant to be finished by 2022 and it's like hard to see the suffering till that point. I know metro will simplify the traffic and less people will be on road with that but iit seems like not so easy these days to see metro constructions affecting current traffic.

All changes need time to be affective. Even before it can be harder than before.

In my country, we do get heavy traffic when construction happens. The trouble is, any government related construction takes years to finish, even simple ones. And when it is finish, we will get another slow ones. So traffic is like a cyclical curse that only worsens.

indeed 3 years or more may pass but so far it's going good. but the amount of traffic that gets stopped during the odd times it can be bad. i hope things change but we are going to face lot of population in old age.

@skysnap as my civil engineering friend suggested, public constructions must be done at night, and within a week. So people won't bother with the traffic.

We suffered almost 4 years with its construction and now it is running perfectly. But we have it in underground, most of the place. On going inside and watching the construction, I really surprised how this much works done without giving much disturbance on the top. But I agree there was some disturbance and traffic jams caused, they shifted the road to left and right while progressing the works underground.

@skysnap Many times such thoughts gone through in my mind. How safe to these underground metros and nearby places, Because the ground dig much and there will be some bad consequences.

underground is better i think but the city is not able to keep up with underground due to the river in the city.. so they choose the tram style but above the ground.. it is going to have lot of disturbance and the changes.. i don't think i'd be living near the metro road in near future. it'd be disaster in old age isn't it?

they call such progress, i see 't to be hindsight. when yer infrastructure ('n this case, transportation) doesn't grow 't the same speed 's population, troubles 'rise. took 'em nearly 2 yrs to re-do our highway. i jest found alternate routes to get to town.
