The Delhi government has started the process for building a new flyover on the Outer Ring Road to reduce congestion on one of the busiest traffic corridors.
The flyover will connect the IFC Supplementary Drain near Keshopur Depot to Haiderpur, aiming to provide direct relief to commuters from Keshopur, Haiderpur, Punjabi Bagh, Pitampura, Shalimar Bagh, Rohini, and surrounding areas of north-west Delhi, which face heavy traffic during peak hours. The project aims to alleviate traffic bottlenecks, improve inter-district connectivity, and ensure smoother movement for daily commuters, public transport, commercial vehicles, and emergency services.
According to officials, "The detailed feasibility study will assess traffic volume, engineering design, environmental impact, and long-term sustainability to ensure the flyover is future-ready and executed without delays." The Public Works Department has approved consultancy services for the study, marking the next step in the project’s planning phase.
