Traffic Bottlenecks Cause Delays on Delhi's Newly Opened Barapullah Phase-III Corridor
Traffic congestion continues on Delhi's newly opened Barapullah Phase-III corridor, especially on the Mayur Vihar-AIIMS stretch, due to a bottleneck where traffic from eight to nine lanes merges into three lanes on the old Barapullah flyover. Delhi Traffic Police have deployed personnel to manage the flow, but commuters report significant delays and jams extending up to 2 km. The police also noted that Google Maps inaccurately shows smooth traffic, contributing to increased congestion. The corridor was inaugurated recently to improve connectivity but faces challenges at key merging points.
