In order to provide relief from traffic jams in Delhi and to reduce the traffic load coming from East Delhi or South Delhi to the Ring Road, Pragati Maidan and Lutyens Zone, the Gyaara Murti (Dandi March Statue) located at the Delhi-Meerut Expressway and Sardar Patel Marg T-junction will be connected by a tunnel of about 7-8 km.

New plan for relief from traffic jam

At the same time, the proposed elevated corridor from near INA to the airport under Barapullah Phase-4 is another important project. The purpose of the flyover construction is to smoothen the traffic to the airport for commuters from Lutyens Delhi and East Delhi. A few days ago, a high-level meeting was held between Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari and Delhi government ministers.

What is the complete plan of the government

During this time, the officials of the ministry presented a plan to decongest Delhi through parts of different national highways and new projects . In the future, the government has planned a 128 km long project, on which an estimated expenditure of Rs 23,850 crore is expected.

During the meeting, many traffic problems in Delhi were also mentioned, one of which was mentioned in front of the Subroto Park police post near Dhaula Kuan. NHAI has shifted the police post from here and demanded 1300 square meters of land so that a 3-lane wide service lane can be built to go towards Narayana.
