Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday inaugurated the Barapullah Phase-3 elevated corridor and the Mukarba Chowk underpass in Delhi, and laid foundation stones for two flyovers in South Delhi. The 9-km signal-free corridor links Mayur Vihar Phase-1 to AIIMS via Sarai Kale Khan, aiming to cut travel time from east Delhi and Noida to around 15 minutes.
Approved in 2014 and started in 2015, the project was originally due in 2017 but faced delays. The revised cost is about Rs 1,635 crore. Features include India's first flyover corridor with a dedicated cycle track and a bridge over the Yamuna with 125-metre pillar spans to protect the river's flow.
Two new flyovers will be built at Modi Mill to Kalkaji and Savitri Cinema, plus an underpass at Loni. All projects together are worth Rs 1,941 crore, according to Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.
