Delhi building ₹800-cr flyovers across Yamuna

PWD Delhi has decided to build two flyovers and an underpass in northeast Delhi en route to Ghaziabad, which will be commissioned in two years. The projects, estimated to cost ₹800 crore, have been approved by Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure (Planning and Engineering) Centre (UTTIPEC). Construction will begin as soon as it gets clearance from the Delhi government. The two flyovers will be the first of their kind, being double-deck structure, with the first level to be used by cars and the second for the Delhi Metro Phase IV corridor. The vehicular level will be constructed 5.5 metres above the ground and the metro line will be made a further 5.5 metres above that said PWD sources. The first flyover of 1.5-km, will be erected 100m ahead of the existing flyover at Khajuri Khas. An underpass will be constructed at the Loni intersection, followed by the second 1.5-km-long flyover starting at Gagan Cinema in Nand Nagri area. The two flyovers will have six lanes each, while the underpass will have four lanes; they will ease traffic at the Bhajanpura and Ghonda junctions.
