Delhi Approves 5.5-Kilometer Elevated Corridor Project
The Delhi government has approved a new 5.5-kilometer elevated corridor designed to bypass 12 major traffic junctions. This project is part of a broader initiative to improve multi-modal integration (MMI) across the city's transit network.
The Delhi government has officially approved the construction of a 5.5-kilometer elevated corridor, a project aimed at alleviating traffic congestion by allowing commuters to bypass 12 busy junctions. The initiative is part of a larger effort to streamline urban mobility and improve connectivity within the capital.
In addition to the corridor approval, the Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure (Planning and Engineering) Centre (UTTIPEC) has cleared the final six Multi-Modal Integration (MMI) plans. These plans were prepared by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to enhance accessibility and transit efficiency at metro stations. With these latest approvals, all 31 MMI plans for stations across the Phase I and Phase II corridors have now received official clearance. The integration of these plans is intended to create a more seamless experience for passengers transferring between different modes of public transport, such as buses, autos, and the metro system.
