Delhi Traffic Police Seek Redesign of Barapullah Phase-III Flyover Merger Amid Congestion
Delhi's newly opened Barapullah Phase-III flyover, intended to ease traffic between Mayur Vihar and south Delhi, has caused severe congestion due to design flaws. Multiple lanes merge abruptly into fewer lanes near Sundial Park, creating bottlenecks and long delays. Delhi Traffic Police have urged the Public Works Department to redesign the merger point and are managing traffic flow manually. Additionally, inaccurate traffic updates on Google Maps have worsened congestion by directing more vehicles onto the crowded route. Authorities are diverting traffic and seeking infrastructure improvements to address the issue.
