The daily commute near Applewood Township on SP Ring Road has turned into a routine ordeal, with a short stretch regularly collapsing into long traffic snarls. What should be a quick 10-minute drive often drags into 45 minutes to an hour, leaving motorists frustrated.

Trouble begins right under the main bridge in front of Applewood, where the road has deteriorated badly. As vehicles descend from the bridge, traffic slows to a crawl up to the next crossroads. Many two-wheelers and cars take a risky detour from the bridge itself to escape the chaos.
