Delhi to Revamp Modi Mill to IIT Gate Stretch
The Delhi government has approved a plan to make a busy road called the Outer Ring Road better for people driving.
This road goes from Modi Mill flyover to IIT Gate and is often very crowded.
Since the road is surrounded by many homes, they can't make it wider.
Instead, they plan to extend a flyover and build two new half flyovers to help cars move more easily.
This should help people who drive between Noida, South Delhi, the airport, and Gurgaon.
The goal is to make traffic safer and faster, so people don't waste time or fuel stuck in jams.
Delhi government approves plan to decongest the 7.2-km Outer Ring Road stretch from Modi Mill flyover to IIT Gate.
Proposed solutions include extending the Modi Mill flyover to Kalkaji Temple and constructing additional half flyovers at Kalkaji Temple and Savitri Cinema.
The stretch passes through densely populated areas like Greater Kailash, Malviya Nagar, and Kalkaji, witnessing heavy congestion.
Objective is to ensure free and safe flow of traffic, saving commuters’ time and fuel.
Road widening is not feasible due to surrounding residential colonies, making flyover extensions the preferred solution.
