thebalanced.newsDelhi Plans 55-Km Elevated Ring Road Project to Improve Urban Mobility
The Delhi government plans to construct a 55-kilometre elevated ring road above the existing Mahatma Gandhi Ring Road in six phases, aiming to reduce congestion and travel time by up to 40%. Construction is expected to begin within six months, with the first phase likely covering either the 11.5-km Kashmere Gate ISBT to Ashram stretch or the 9.5-km Azadpur to Kashmere Gate ISBT segment due to fewer operational challenges. The project includes redesigned intersections, integration with public transport, cycling tracks, and smart traffic management to enhance urban mobility and sustainability.
