Delhi's Barapullah Phase III Corridor to Open on September 29, Enhancing Connectivity
Delhi's long-delayed Barapullah Phase III elevated corridor, connecting Mayur Vihar Phase I and Sarai Kale Khan, is set to open on September 29. The 3.5- to 5-km corridor will link with the existing Barapullah flyover, creating a nearly 9 km signal-free route towards AIIMS and South Delhi. The project, approved in 2014 and started in 2015, faced multiple delays and cost escalations, now estimated at Rs 1,635 crore. It features India's first flyover with a dedicated cycle track and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta are expected to inaugurate the corridor.
