Traffic in Delhi will literally be a cut above the rest once a web of 19 proposed flyovers is put in place by the state's Public Works Department.
Apart from these, there are two road projects that also promise to shorten travel time road 57 in East Delhi will be widened and a bridge will come up over the Yamuna connecting the third Pushta on M B Road to Majnu Ka Tilla on Ring Road.
Eight of the 21 projects have got the nod from the United Traffic and Transportation (Planning and Engineering) Centre or UPPTEC. The feasibility study of another five is on; the rest are approved but still on the planning table.
Among the first eight, four flyovers are coming up on Outer Ring Road between Vikaspuri and Wazirabad to make the stretch signal-free. These are from Vikas Puri to Meera Bagh, from Mangolpuri to Madhuban Chowk, from Madhuban Chowk to Mukarba Chowk and from Mukarba Chowk to Wazirabad. There is a recently-completed flyover already at Mukarba Chowk.
Among the rest are two that the Delhi Urban Art Commission has put the breaks on by rejecting the plans one at Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg and the other on the East West Corridor. But the PWD has not given up hope.
Significant among those undergoing the feasibility study is one at the traffic intersection of Captain Gaur Marg, close to the Modi Mill Flyover. There are major slowdowns here during peak hours because of the intersecting traffic from East of Kailash, turning left towards the Modi Mill flyover and that which goes straight down to the flyover on Outer Ring Road.
