Flyover To Be Developed In Two Phases

As per a report by Mid-Day, the integrated road project will span a total length of 5 kilometres and will be developed in two phases. The first phase will cover a 2.42 km stretch from Saket G-Block to Sangam Vihar. The second phase will cover 2.48 km from Maa Anandmayee Marg to Pul Prahladpur. The project is a major step towards creating a more organised and seamless traffic network in South Delhi.

We all know that traffic congestion in this part of the city is a daily struggle, and this flyover is expected to bring some relief for the daily commuters.  The design includes a metro corridor on the upper deck and a six-lane elevated road below. This layout ensures optimal usage of the space but also improves the road’s capacity to handle heavy traffic. 

In addition to this, authorities are planning to construct two vehicular underpasses. These will be located at Saket G-Block and along the BRT Corridor. The underpasses will help ease traffic in areas like Saket G-Block, Ambedkar Nagar, Khanpur, and Sangam Vihar, which see heavy congestion during peak hours.
