The Raja Tula Ram Flyover was proposed as a two-carriageway stretch but got converted into a single-lane flyover in 2009 due to objections raised by the residents calling it a constant source of ‘noise pollution’. While the single-carriageway flyover created further traffic bottlenecks, a parallel road was finally proposed in November 2014 which has already missed three deadlines. Now, the latest deadline has been set to December 2018 for which the Public Works’ Department is racing against time.

Barapullah Road Phase II and III will make the commute easier between east and south Delhi. The stretch when operational would start at Mayur Vihar Metro station and would end at Aurobindo Marg and INA Market. The total commute time from east Delhi to airport will come down to 40 minutes. The corridor would also connect NH-24 and NH-8, providing a signal-free ride to the commuters plying towards south Delhi.

The Delhi Development Authority and other city civic bodies might soon face legal action, including registration of FIRs, in case any illegal construction is reported in their respective jurisdiction. This has been laid under the action plan being prepared by the Centre.

Since “all obstacles have been removed”, the 29-kilometre Dwarka Expressway could be ready in another one-and-a-half year, says Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority Chief Executive Officer V Umashankar. The project, aimed at decongesting the Delhi-Gurgaon highway, was stuck owing to land acquisition issues at New Palam Vihar and Kherki Daula.

The ferry service for a few kilometres between Tronica City and Sonia Vihar will commence once the monsoon subsides. The idea is to develop it as a major tourist attraction. The project will be funded by the Inland Waterways Authority of India which has approved Rs 7.55 crore for the trial project.
