Govt grants ₹183 cr for flyover near Civil Lines to ease traffic
The Morning Standard
|April 12, 2025
IN order to reduce traffic congestion and provide seamless connectivity for commuters, the Delhi government's Public Works Department (PWD) has decided to build a six lane flyover from Majnu ka Tila to Chandgi Ram Akhara T-point, also known as Metcalf House Crossing on Outer Ring Road.
The PWD has allocated ₹183 crore for the project.
This strategic intervention will facilitate smooth traffic for residents of Civil Lines and nearby areas while also streamlining inter-state movement towards northern states such as Himachal Pradesh and Punjab. Once completed, the project will bring relief to thousands of daily commuters and improve road safety and efficiency.
