On Tuesday, May 10, the Delhi government has given approval for the construction of two new corridor and flyover projects in east Delhi and West Delhi to make traveling easier for people in the city.
During a meeting of the Expenditure Finance Committee (EFC) on Tuesday, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia approved the projects costing Rs. 724.36 crores for the construction of a new corridor and flyover in the city.
The Projects
The new projects include the construction of a corridor between Raja Garden flyover and Punjabi Bagh flyover costing Rs. 352.32 crore and a flyover between Anand Vihar RoB to Apsara Border RoB amounting to Rs. 372.04 crore.

The Flyovers at Punjabi Bagh and Raja Garden
In the areas of Punjabi Bagh and Raja Garden, the flyovers are one way with low-capacity intersections leading to heavy traffic jams and making it difficult for the commuters in the area to travel. The stretch between these flyovers plays a significant role in connecting south Delhi, Gurugram, and other areas of NCR with north Delhi.
The new corridor
The construction of a new corridor between Raja Garden and Punjabi Bagh will bring relief to daily commuters by decongesting the issues of heavy traffic. A six-lane elevated corridor will be constructed between ESI Hospital and Club Road. Another six-lane corridor will be built from Anand Vihar to Apsara Border which will also include two up-down ramps for providing direct connectivity with the flyover.
