Delhi Traffic Police has advised commuters to avoid the Ring Road stretch between Sarai Kale Khan and Ashram Chowk on September 29 from 9 am to 2 pm. The restriction is for the opening ceremony of the Barapullah Phase III elevated corridor.
The event is expected to cause significant congestion on the route during those hours. Motorists have been asked to plan alternate routes or use public transport during the five-hour window.
Barapullah Phase III will connect the existing corridor from Sarai Kale Khan to Mayur Vihar in east Delhi once fully operational. The opening ceremony on Sunday will be attended by senior officials.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Barapullah Phase III extends the elevated corridor from Sarai Kale Khan to the Mayur Vihar area, giving East Delhi a direct link to South and Central Delhi. The project has been delayed by at least three years due to land acquisition and utility shifting issues. When fully open, it is expected to carry roughly 60,000 vehicles a day and cut the travel time between Noida and AIIMS by nearly 30 minutes. The Delhi government will now need to complete the remaining connection to the Noida border, on which work is continuing. Commuters should track whether the full corridor opens to traffic from the next day or only after further trials.
