NEW DELHI: The Public Works Department (PWD) has completed the soil testing and geological assessment for doubling the one-way flyovers at Savitri Cinema and Kalkaji in south Delhi, officials said on Sunday, adding that they have also sought financial approval to start issuing tender.

The work on ground is likely to begin in the next six months after the bidding process is completed.

The project aims to double the one-way Savitri and Kalkaji flyovers and merge them with a new flyover linking the Modi Mill flyover along the Outer Ring Road - a move that officials say is likely to help with the rising traffic issues along key roads in south Delhi.
