Delhi Government Plans Elevated Corridors and Bridge to Ease Traffic Congestion
The Delhi government is conducting feasibility studies for elevated corridors to ease traffic congestion on key routes, including a proposed 5.5-6 km elevated road along Aruna Asaf Ali Marg in South Delhi. The project aims to create signal-free corridors connecting Mahipalpur-Mehrauli to Outer Ring Road, addressing bottlenecks near JNU, Vasant Kunj, and other busy intersections. Additional infrastructure plans include elevated flyovers and a cable-stayed bridge in north-east and west Delhi, targeting completion by 2030 as part of a broader Rs 12,000-crore initiative to improve traffic flow and reduce pollution.
