The flyovers will be constructed at major intersections on Bhalaswa, Mukundpur and Burari. The inauguration of the ambitious signal-free corridor project was done last year erstwhile chief minister Sheila Dixit.
‘At present, there is a heavy traffic congestion on this stretch every moment as trucks, buses and cars enter the capital from Sonipat, Chandigarh, Kurukshetra, Ambala and other adjoining areas’, said a senior PWD official attached to this project. A stretch of 10.5 km roads are also being widened on both sides of this corridor. Besides, two bridges on Bhalaswa and Libaspur drains will also be built, which will facilitate residents of the nearby areas. One bridge will also be constructed on Jagatpur drain.
The estimated cost of the ambitious project is Rs 633 crore and it is expected to be completed by December next year. The official also said that two additional loops will be built at Mukundpur Chowk for a right turn while four foot-over bridges in Mukarba Chowk, Jahangir Puri, Jagat Pur and Burari are also part of the plan.
