Sources said that a flyover at Narela will be constructed to connect Urban Extension Road-I and NH-1 (Delhi - Karnal). This will ease out the traffic load on NH-1 and thus decongest Delhi's border with Haryana. The flyover connecting Mahipalpur to the airport will mitigate the traffic snarls on NH-8 as vehicles coming from south Delhi areas will directly reach the airport via Aerocity. The UD ministry has sanctioned Rs 150 crore for the flyover, while the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) will fund Rs 38 crore. The flyover will not only provide direct access to airport-bound traffic but also benefit the vehicles headed straight to Gurgaon.
Apart from this, the Delhi government is also considering extending the Barapulla elevated corridor to IGI Airport. The nearly 10-km elevated corridor is being planned in a way that it will end at the airport approach road so that congestion at Dhaula Kuan could be avoided. The corridor will reduce traffic congestion in the entire central Delhi, and Barapullah will act as a link between NH-24 in the east and NH-8 in the west of the national capital. Other projects included a skywalk at Delhi's most congested intersection at ITO connecting Tilak Marg, Sikandra Road, Mathura Road and Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg with the ITO metro station through sturdy metallic ramps and overhead canopies and improvement of ring road near ISBT Kashmere Gate.
