Delhi's Barapullah Phase-III Corridor Faces Traffic Congestion After Opening
The newly opened Barapullah Phase-III elevated corridor in Delhi, intended to reduce travel time between Mayur Vihar Phase-1 and AIIMS, experienced significant traffic congestion shortly after inauguration. Commuters reported delays up to 55 minutes and tailbacks extending 3 kilometers, mainly due to lane reductions and merging points near Sarai Kale Khan, Suryaghadi, and Ashram junctions. Authorities acknowledged the issues, deploying additional traffic police and planning corrective measures. The corridor is partially operational, with full two-way movement expected soon to improve traffic flow.
