Flyover connecting North Delhi and Ghaziabad: PWD to carry out feasibility study
To provide smooth connectivity between North Delhi and Ghaziabad, the Public Works Department (PWD) has proposed an integrated transit corridor development project. The department has invited bids to carry out a feasibility study for constructing a 6-km-long elevated corridor under this project, starting from Nanaksar Gurudwara T-Point in Northeast Delhi's Sonia Vihar Pusta Road to the Delhi-UP corridor near Tronica City. According to officials, the stretch currently falls under the jurisdiction of the Irrigation and Flood Control Department (I&FC), but as the PWD is the expert agency executing roads and flyovers, the department will hire an agency to carry out the feasibility study. Currently, the 6-km-long stretch is plagued by encroachment by the roadside and traffic snarls caused by vehicles, e-rickshaws, and pedestrian footfall. 'It was a long-pending request from residents… development of an elevated corridor will ease traffic movement for commuters and residents… The stretch passes through a densely populated area, which also has a market… Also, there are trees on both sides of Pushta Road… a Delhi Jal Board (DJB) underground water pipeline also falls on the route… all of this will be taken into consideration during the study,' said officials. The DJB's Sonia Vihar treatment plant is located near the alignment of the proposed flyover. In April, PWD Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh, along with Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra, inspected the stretch and announced the project. Officials said it is likely to cost approximately Rs 500 crore.
