To make the capital city traffic jam free, Delhi Government will dedicate four new flyovers and two underpasses to the people by the end of this year. These projects include the Sarai Kale Khan-T junction flyover, the doubling and expansion of the flyover from Punjabi Bagh to Raja Garden, a six-lane flyover between Anand Vihar and Apsara Border, a double-decker flyover at the Ghonda-Brijpuri junction, and the Mukarba Chowk underpass, among other important projects. PWD Minister Atishi, on Friday, reviewed the progress of various flyover projects currently underway in Delhi with senior officials of the department.

After the reviewing ongoing 30 infra project, the PWD Minister said these projects are extremely important for making traffic smooth and after their completion, lakhs of daily commuters will be rid of traffic. She further directed the officials to set monthly targets for all ongoing flyover projects and complete them within the timelines. Most importantly, every month, a progress report should be submitted directly to her.

The Sarai Kale Khan T-junction flyover, being built by the Kejriwal government, will be ready by July this year. With the construction of the new flyover, the Sarai Kale Khan T-junction will become a signal-free corridor and will provide relief from traffic jams to the lakhs of vehicles passing via this route everyday.

The doubling and expansion of the flyovers, from Punjab Bagh to Raja Garden is being done under this project. Under the project, both flyovers’ will be expanded to three lanes, and a new three-lane flyover will also be built along with both flyovers to make them two-way.

The corridor between Punjab Bagh Flyover and Raja Garden Flyover is part of the Ring Road, and the traffic load here is quite high because Haryana’s traffic comes here using the Rohtak Road (NH-10).

Additionally, this corridor also connects North Delhi to South Delhi, Gurgaon, and other parts of the NCR. The existing one-way flyovers and low-capacity intersectionse are not adequate for the current traffic load, resulting in traffic congestion.

A six-lane flyover of approximately 1440 meters in length, is being constructed between Anand Vihar ROB and Apsara Border ROB, on Road Number-56.

A double-decker flyover is being constructed at the Karawal Nagar, Ghonda-Brijpuri junction in North-East Delhi, connecting Yamuna Vihar and Bhajanpura over a distance of 1.4 km. The lower deck will be a four-lane flyover, while the upper deck will have a metro line. This unique model of a double-decker flyover has resulted in savings of crores of rupees. After the completion of this project, the people in the surrounding areas will not have to face long traffic jams.

Besides, two new underpasses at Pragati Maidan and Mukarba Chowk will be completed to ease traffic in the capital. The Pragati Maidan underpass is expected to be completed by July end while the Mukarba Chowk  underpass will also be ready by the end of this year.
