PWD starts work on ₹257-cr six-lane flyover in Delhi

The Public Works Department (PWD) in the National Capital has begun construction of a six-lane flyover that will connect Anand Vihar ISBT to Apsara border. The project, which is being funded with an investment of ₹257 crore, aims to provide a signal-free route between East, Northeast, and Central Delhi. As a result of the construction, the PWD has closed the two carriageways on the railway overbridge near Anand Vihar railway station, causing traffic disruptions between Ghaziabad, Noida, East, Central Delhi, and routes connecting North and North East Delhi. The 1.2-km-long flyover will be built on Road number 56 between Anand Vihar ISBT and Apsara border, an area that is currently heavily congested due to the ISBT, railway station, and UP-ISBT across the road in Kaushambi. Once completed, the flyover will also make three major junctions - Ramprastha Nagar, Surya Nagar, and Shrestha Vihar - signal-free, and will provide back-to-back u-turns to improve travel between Seemapuri to Anand Vihar.
