South Delhi is set to get relief from its chronic traffic congestion. The Barapullah Phase-III corridor will soon open to the public, while the Delhi government is set to construct two new flyovers to ease congestion. These include the extension of the Modi Mill Flyover to Kalkaji and the construction of a parallel flyover at the Savitri Cinema junction.
Once completed, they are expected to reduce traffic congestion in Govindpuri, Kalkaji, CR Park, Nehru Place and surrounding areas. The Delhi government plans to extend the Modi Mill Flyover to Kalkaji to improve connectivity across South Delhi and reduce traffic congestion. At present, vehicles heading towards Kalkaji, Nehru Place and Okhla often encounter heavy traffic after descending from the flyover.
Public Works Minister Parvesh Verma said the projects, estimated to cost Rs 371 crore, will be inaugurated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The government aims to complete both projects within 24 to 30 months.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah will inaugurate the three underpasses along with the Barapullah Phase-III corridor today. The underpasses are expected to eliminate traffic bottlenecks at Mukarba Chowk and make travel smoother and faster.
