PWD in Delhi plans elevated corridor

The public works department of the Delhi government is currently working on a proposal to construct an elevated corridor between Signature Bridge near Wazirabad and DND Flyway to decongest Ring Road and Outer Ring Road. The corridor, which is likely to be 12-13 km long, will be constructed by the PWD, which comes under the Delhi government, along the Yamuna floodplain in a phased manner. Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal's office is reportedly monitoring the entire process of the project. The new corridor is being planned as the traffic volume will increase manifold on the two ring roads near Kashmiri Gate and Sarai Kale Khan once the construction of Signature Bridge and NH-24 expansion are completed, official sources said that the department will also explore the possibility of connecting the elevated corridor with various bridges on the Yamuna.
