Delhi Opens Barapullah Phase-III Elevated Corridor to Improve East-South Connectivity
Delhi's Barapullah Phase-III elevated corridor, a 3.5-km signal-free link connecting Mayur Vihar Phase I and Sarai Kale Khan, opened on September 29, inaugurated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The project, delayed since 2015 with a revised cost of around Rs 1,635 crore, aims to reduce travel time between East Delhi, Noida, and South Delhi from 35-40 minutes to about 15 minutes. It includes India's first flyover with a dedicated cycle track and pedestrian facilities. The inauguration also involved laying foundations for two new flyovers and the Mukarba Chowk underpass, with traffic advisories issued for the event.
