Delhi's Barapullah Phase-3 Corridor Nears Opening, Cuts Travel Time Between Mayur Vihar and AIIMS
The Barapullah Phase-3 elevated corridor in Delhi, spanning 3.5 km, is nearing completion and expected to open this month. It will provide a signal-free route between Mayur Vihar in East Delhi and AIIMS in South Delhi, reducing travel time from 30-40 minutes to about 15-20 minutes. The project, approved in 2014 and started in 2015, faced nearly nine years of delays due to land acquisition, contractor disputes, and environmental clearances. The corridor will improve connectivity for commuters from Ghaziabad, Noida, and East Delhi to South Delhi.
