DMRC Initiates Feasibility Study for Double-Decker Metro-Flyover Corridor in Delhi
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has commissioned a Rs 2.08 crore feasibility study to explore an integrated double-decker corridor along the 16.5-km Keshav Puram-Rohini Sector 34 route under Phase 5B. The study will assess structural, commercial, and traffic feasibility for a design featuring a Metro line on the upper deck and an elevated road or flyover below. It includes traffic surveys, transport modeling, and evaluation of supporting infrastructure, aiming to ease congestion in densely urbanized areas. Completion is expected within six months.
