New Delhi: In order to make city roads better, beautiful and safer for commuters in the city, the Delhi government has approved projects for the rehabilitation and strengthening of various parts of the Outer Ring Road. These projects aim to offer residents a more pleasant commuting experience and enhance the overall connectivity of different areas.
The Outer Ring Road projects included a road from Chirag Delhi to IIT Flyover and from Modi Mill Flyover to Chirag Delhi Flyover.
While approving the projects, PWD Minister Atishi said, “The Delhi government’s emphasis is on establishing a resilient and secure transportation network following global standards. The Outer Ring Road is the lifeline of the national capital, connecting various parts of the city and facilitating the daily commute of lakhs of residents.”
She added, “Rehabilitation and strengthening projects for these key road stretches such as from Chirag Delhi to IIT Flyover and Modi Mill Flyover to Chirag Delhi Flyover, will make this vital artery more resilient, beautiful, and safer.”
Atishi said these roads on the Outer Ring Road in Delhi were originally constructed and upgraded long ago, leading to their gradual deterioration. The PWD has conducted a thorough assessment of the roads with the assistance of experts and has been instructed to initiate the upgrading process.
The minister also stressed the importance of ensuring minimal disruption to commuters during the construction phase, with a directive to adhere to global standards for high-quality roads.
Highlighting the government’s commitment to adhering to global standards and prioritizing the well-being of Delhi’s citizens, these projects underscore the focus on creating a robust and safe transportation network rather than just building roads.
Delhi’s Outer Ring Road is a vital artery encircling the city, connecting major neighborhoods and satellite towns. Lined with commercial hubs, residential complexes, and green spaces, it serves as a lifeline for commuters and logistics. Its strategic importance in easing traffic congestion underscores its significance in Delhi’s urban landscape.
