Big gift to Delhi: 20 km long signal-free flyover soon, journey will be easy and faster!

New Delhi:There is a great news for millions of people struggling with traffic jam in the national capital Delhi. Soon the city is going to get a state-of-the-art signal-free flyover, which has been approved by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) and the Central Government. This huge elevated corridor will provide direct connectivity from South Delhi to Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport and Gurugram, which will make traffic smooth and faster on these major routes.

Project Description:

The proposed flyover, which will cost about Rs 5,000 crore to build, will start from AIIMS (AIIMS) and will go to Mahipalpur in Southwest Delhi.This route will be further connected to Gurugram-Faridabad Road, so that it will act as a parallel corridor between Delhi and Gurugram. The project aims to reduce traffic pressure on congested National Highways 48 (NH-48) and Delhi-Gurugram highway.

Passengers will benefit big:

With the construction of this new flyover, the passengers going from Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad and East Delhi or Gurugram will get a lot of relief.At present, there is heavy traffic jam on major routes like Ring Road and Outer Ring Road, which takes more time to travel.Once this flyover is ready, Indira Gandhi International Airport can be reached in only 20 minutes, which will save both time and fuel.

Tunnel project also included:

Under this major infrastructure scheme, there is also a plan to build a 5 km long tunnel on Nelson Mandela road. The tunnel will directly connect the IGI Airport and Dwarka Expressway, which will ensure a spontaneous and signal-free travel for passengers going from south and south-east Delhi to airport.

According to officials, the project will bring a major change in Delhi’s traffic management and will make the traffic to a large extent easier for daily travelers in the capital. After the study, existing flyover, underpasses and metro lines will also be assessed to decide whether the entire corridor will be elevated or it will also include underground sections.
