Delhi's Barapullah Phase-3 Corridor Expected to Open This Month
The 3.5-kilometer elevated corridor connecting Mayur Vihar to AIIMS is nearing completion after a nine-year delay. The project is expected to open to the public within the month, significantly reducing travel time between the two areas.
The Barapullah Phase-3 elevated corridor in Delhi is set to open this month, marking the end of a project that has been under construction for nearly nine years. The 3.5-kilometer stretch is designed to provide a direct link between Mayur Vihar and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), a route that currently experiences heavy traffic congestion.
The project has faced significant setbacks since its inception, leading to a delay of nearly a decade beyond its original timeline. Officials have indicated that the final stages of work are currently underway to ensure the corridor is ready for commuters. Once operational, the elevated road is expected to drastically cut travel time for thousands of daily commuters navigating the city's eastern and southern corridors. While the opening is anticipated to relieve pressure on existing arterial roads, the long-standing delays have previously drawn criticism regarding infrastructure management in the capital.
