Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the completed Barapullah Phase-3 elevated corridor on Tuesday, giving a major boost to road infrastructure in Delhi.
He will also inaugurate the Mukarba Chowk underpass. It will reduce travel between East and South Delhi and provide relief to people from traffic jams. Officials have said the corridor could reduce the average journey from East Delhi and Noida to AIIMS from around 35-40 minutes to about 15 minutes, depending on traffic and the starting point. “With the start of the Barapullah Phase-3 corridor, signal-free connectivity will be available from Mayur Vihar Phase-1 to AIIMS.
“Hon’ble Union Home & Cooperation Minister Shri Amit Shah will inaugurate the Barapulla Elevated Road Phase-III and Mukarba Chowk Underpass, and lay the foundation stone for the Modi Mill–Savitri Cinema Flyover and Loni Underpass,” CM Rekha Gupta wrote on X on Monday. The project is an important step towards realising the resolve of a developed Delhi,” Parvesh Verma said in a post on X. “These projects worth ₹ 1,941 crore will strengthen Delhi’s connectivity, ease traffic movement and make daily travel smoother for lakhs of commuters,” the chief minister further said.
Delhi PWD minister Parvesh Verma said on Monday that, along with the inauguration of the elevated corridor in the presence of Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta and others, Shah will also lay the foundation for two new flyovers – Modi Mill to Kalkaji and the Savitri Cinema half flyover.
