Description
Description | The Delhi government has approved a landmark 55-km elevated double-decker ring road project aimed at bypassing the city's chronic congestion. Built directly above the existing Mahatma Gandhi Ring Road, the corridor is expected to reduce travel times by 40%. The project will be executed in six strategic phases, with on-ground construction expected to commence within the next six months. It includes sustainable infrastructure like dedicated cycling tracks and pedestrian pathways, smart traffic management with redesigned intersections and advanced signal systems, and environmental considerations with impact studies by global consultant AECOM. The project faces vertical challenges as it involves building a third road layer reaching 15 to 20 meters in certain sections to clear existing flyovers and Metro lines. The projected cost is roughly Rs 7,000 crore. |
