Delhi gets new road to connect NH-8

Delhi Link Road To NH8
In order to decongest NH-8, the NHAI has proposed a plan to construct a new link-road which will connect the Ring Road close to RK Puram to MG Road via Nelson Mandela Marg in Vasant Kunj. The upcoming road stretch will be a six-lane bypass, which will share the burden of the busy NH-8 as nearly 75-80% of the traffic going from Delhi to Gurgaon takes NH-8.

Once this road is completed, it will work as an alternative route and the traffic load on the stretch will be reduced drastically. As the road stretch is heavily populated, the road building authorities will also have to construct enough foot-over bridges and underpasses for the safety of pedestrians as a large number of colonies are located along the proposed road including Vasant Kunj and Vasant Vihar, among others.
