The centre has approved the Delhi government’s request for Rs 8.03 billion to repair, rebuild, and resurface 152 important corridors, including the ring road and many flyovers, which span more than 330 km.
The Central Road and Infrastructure Fund (CRIF) money was granted earlier by the Minister for Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), who also requested administrative approval for the projects from the Delhi government.
The Nizamuddin to Kalkaji stretch, the ITO circle, the Ferozshah road, the Vikas Marg, and the Kashmiri Gate ISBT to Wazirabad are some of the important sections that will undergo repairs and improvements. Another important route that will be made wider is the Noida Link Road, which links Noida to Central and East Delhi.
In order to relieve traffic and enhance connectivity in Outer, West, and Northeast Delhi; the Public Works Department (PWD) also intends to build three new flyovers at the Rajouri Garden-Tagore Garden stretch, Rohtak Road (Military Road–Jhansi Road), on Road 63 and Gokulpuri stretch.
The implementing agency is required to make sure that each project is both technically and financially approved within four months of the work’s administrative approval date. If this fails to happen, the work will be considered approved, unless the government grants prior authorisation to extend the approval’s validity.
