The Delhi government will be constructing an underpass at Loni Chowk and a flyover between Nand Nagri and Gagan Cinema to reduce traffic snarls in northeast Delhi.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who also holds the charge of PWD Minister, gave approval to two projects worth Rs 341.2 crore in the Expenditure Finance Committee (EFC) meeting held recently.
"With the construction of an underpass at Loni Chowk in North East Delhi and a flyover between Nand Nagri and Gagan Cinema Junction, the entire 10-km road stretch between Signature Bridge to Bhopura Chowk will become signal free.
Those travelling to Bhopura via Signature Bridge will have signal-free road to commute. At present, vehicles take 25-30 minutes to cover this route, but after the completion of these projects, this time will be reduced to half," he said.
