Traffic Congestion Continues on Delhi's Newly Opened Barapullah Phase-III Corridor
Traffic congestion persists on Delhi's newly opened Barapullah Phase-III corridor, especially during peak hours on the Mayur Vihar-AIIMS stretch. The main bottleneck occurs where traffic from eight to nine lanes merges into three lanes on the old Barapullah flyover, causing significant delays. Delhi Traffic Police have deployed personnel to manage traffic flow, but commuters report long jams and slow movement. Additionally, Google Maps reportedly does not reflect the actual traffic conditions, contributing to increased congestion. The corridor was inaugurated recently to improve connectivity but continues to face operational challenges.
