In a move to decongest major roads, the Delhi Government on Tuesday decided to construct two new flyovers in East and West Delhi. The Expenditure Finance Committee (EFC) headed by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has approved a proposal to this effect. The two new elevated corridors are expected to be completed in 18 months.

The total cost of a corridor connecting the Punjabi Bagh flyover to the Raja Garden flyover is estimated at Rs 352.32 crore. Similarly, a flyover between Anand Vihar and Apsara Border will cost Rs 372.04 crore.

The Delhi Government approved two key flyover projects today. A new flyover between Anand Vihar and Apsara Border and a new elevated corridor between Raja Garden and the Punjabi Bagh flyover. These projects are vital for decongesting city traffic and shall be completed in 18 months, Reviewing the details of the project, Sisodia said that lakhs of commuters will benefit from the construction of this flyover and corridor and these projects will eliminate traffic problems by increasing the capacity of the existing roads, making them safer. Sisodia said that the Arvind Kejriwal Government is working on a war footing to identify traffic hotspots in the city and decongesting them. “Our aim is to decongest Delhi's roads, beautify them and provide a better experience to commuters of Delhi as well as those from other States.

Notably, the stretch between the Raja Garden flyover and Punjabi Bagh flyover is an important part of the Ring Road connecting South Delhi, Gurugram and other parts of NCR with North Delhi.

Commuters face heavy traffic here during peak hours. The one way flyovers and low-capacity intersections here lead to heavy traffic jams in the area creating problems for commuters as well as nearby residential colonies.

In such a situation, a corridor development between Raja Garden flyover and Punjabi Bagh flyover will help in decongestion of traffic and bring relief to lakhs of inter-state commuters daily,” said an official. Some of the key features of the corridor between Raja Garden flyover and Punjabi Bagh flyover are construction of a six-lane elevated corridor from ESI Hospital to the existing Club Road half flyover and expansion of the half flyover from two lanes to six.

Also, development of the existing Moti Nagar half flyover from two lanes one way to six lanes two way and shifting of the existing subway ramps near ESI Hospital towards the service road on both sides of the carriageway.

Besides, there are plans to develop RCC drains, footpaths, strengthening and beautification of existing roads and artwork on the flyover between Anand Vihar and Apsara Border.

Along with the flyover, cycle lanes and multi-utility zones etc. will also be constructed.

Officials of the Public Works Department which will execute these projects, said these facilities will provide relief to commuters travelling to Uttar Pradesh border from East and northeast Delhi and also ease movement of motorists in West Delhi areas around Ring Road.
