Delhi Government Plans Six-Lane Expansion of Najafgarh Peripheral Road
The Delhi government plans to widen the congested four-lane Najafgarh peripheral road into a six-lane corridor to ease traffic and improve connectivity with Haryana, especially Bahadurgarh and Gurugram. The project, approved by UTTIPEC, is part of a broader plan to upgrade 77 busy roads in Delhi. Officials considered building a flyover but chose road widening due to lower costs and fewer land acquisition issues. The redesign also includes footpaths, cycle lanes, and green zones to enhance the corridor.
