The Jhalawar-Kota road will face traffic diversions due to the construction of a new Road Under Bridge (RUB) on the Kota-Nagda rail section. District Collector Piyush Samariya has issued official orders to manage vehicle movement during the installation of RH girders between Kanvalpura and Dara stations. This temporary measure is necessary to ensure safety and allow railway engineers to complete the underpass work.
When will the traffic diversion be active
The traffic diversion will be implemented in two phases to facilitate the construction. It will first be effective from May 14 to May 15 for a period of 48 hours. Later, the diversion will be applied again on May 21 for a duration of 24 hours. Police and traffic departments will be stationed at key points to guide drivers.

Since the construction affects NH-52 and the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, the administration has provided specific alternative routes for different directions:
| From – To | Alternative Route |
