The Story in Brief
Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday inaugurated two newly constructed two-lane slip road bridges over Ghazipur Drain and Hindon Canal at Kondli. The project provides an alternative route between Chand Cinema Road, Ghazipur Road and Kondli Bridge, aiming to ease congestion at the main intersection where vehicles from Kalyanpuri, Ghazipur and Noida converge during peak hours.
The bridges, built on 1,200-mm-diameter RCC pile foundations, include footpaths for safer pedestrian movement. The Times of India reports that the project had been approved long ago but was delayed over pending approvals and fund allocation. Union minister Harsh Malhotra and PWD minister Parvesh Verma said the bridges would benefit residents of Kondli, Kalyanpuri, Ghazipur, Trilokpuri and Patparganj.
The Indian Opinion
The Kondli bridge inauguration is a welcome but overdue fix for a chronic bottleneck. The narrative being pushed, that the new government fast-tracked a stalled project, is one-sided: the same project was approved under the previous regime, and delays happen on both sides. The real test is whether these slip roads actually cut travel time during peak hour or merely shift congestion. Watch traffic data from the main intersection in a fortnight.
