NHAI launches a decongestion plan for Delhi

NHAI has come up with a proposal to decongest Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) through the construction of roads, flyovers and underpasses. NHAI has created a separate cell to work on decongesting Delhi and the NCR, which comprises 13 districts of Haryana, seven of Uttar Pradesh and two of Rajasthan. The authority has proposed the provision of efficient connectivity through the connection of radial routes from the Outer Ring Road with the eastern and western peripheral expressway. It has also proposed to connect Azadpur to Sonepat, Kashmere Gate to Baghpat, Nizamuddin Bridge to Dasna, Lajpat Nagar to Kherli Kankar in Haryana and Bhikaji Cama Place to NBRC Gate on National Highway-8 in Haryana. The plan has been put on NHAI’s website. Architects, town planners and citizens had till April 30, 2016 to give their suggestions and comments to the authority.
