Barapullah Phase 3 Set to Open September 29
Barapullah Phase 3 is a new elevated road corridor in Delhi.
It will connect Mayur Vihar with the AIIMS area.
Officials expect it to open by the end of September, with an inauguration planned for September 29.
The road will join the existing Barapullah flyover near Sarai Kale Khan.
This should give drivers a route with fewer traffic signals.
The project will also have a special path for bicycles.
It includes facilities designed to make walking easier and a bridge over the Yamuna.
The project took longer and cost more than originally planned.
Barapullah Phase 3 is expected to be inaugurated on September 29, according to PWD Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh.
The corridor will connect Mayur Vihar Phase 1 and AIIMS through signal-free carriageways between East and South Delhi.
The new flyover will merge with the existing Barapullah corridor at Sarai Kale Khan, creating a stretch of about 9 kilometres.
The project includes a dedicated cycle track, pedestrian-friendly facilities, an extra-dosed Yamuna bridge and modern urban design elements.
Approved in 2014 and started in 2015, the project missed its 2017 target and now costs approximately ₹1,635 crore.
