To tackle heavy congestion near Kalindi Kunj, authorities plan to build a six-lane interchange and flyovers near the Okhla barrage area.
The project is estimated to cost Rs 300 crore and will provide signal-free movement between Noida, Jasola, Sarita Vihar and Faridabad.
According to the Delhi government, land acquisition work has already started and construction may begin by October 2026.
Elevated Corridor Between Delhi and Gurugram
One of the most ambitious projects announced is the AIIMS-Mahipalpur-Gurugram Elevated Corridor.
The proposed six-lane elevated road will stretch around 20 km and cost nearly Rs 5,000 crore. It aims to improve traffic flow between Delhi and Gurugram while connecting important areas like AIIMS, INA, Hauz Khas and Vasant Kunj.
The elevated corridor is also expected to improve access to Aerocity, Rangpuri, Chhatarpur and Ghitorni.
Construction is currently targeted for April 2027.
Tunnel and Service Roads Also Planned
The Delhi government is also planning an 8-km underground tunnel connecting Shiv Murti and Nelson Mandela Marg.
Estimated to cost Rs 7,000 crore, the tunnel is expected to reduce congestion in Mahipalpur, Dhaula Kuan and Rangpuri while improving connectivity from Dwarka Expressway towards South Delhi.
Alongside this, secondary service roads will be developed on both sides of the UER-II corridor. The project will cover around 26 km and cost nearly Rs 6,500 crore.
Officials say the service roads are important for improving local traffic movement and supporting future urban growth in outer Delhi areas.
Significance Of These Projects
Traffic congestion remains one of the biggest problems across Delhi-NCR. Long office commutes, slow movement at border points and heavy pressure on existing roads have affected daily travel for lakhs of people.
The newly announced projects aim to create faster, signal-free and more connected routes between Delhi and nearby cities. However, experts say timely execution and proper coordination between agencies will be key to delivering long-term relief.
