Delhi PWD to Redevelop 55-km Ring Road Corridor to Ease Traffic
Imagine Delhi has a big circle road that gets super crowded with cars.
The people in charge of building roads (PWD) are going to fix a large part of this road, which is 55 kilometers long!
They want to make it easier for cars to travel and reduce traffic jams.
They are planning to build parts of the road higher up, like a bridge, to help cars flow better.
This big project will be done in six steps, fixing different sections of the road one by one.
The Delhi PWD is set to redevelop the 55-km Mahatma Gandhi Road Corridor, also known as Ring Road.
The project aims to reduce traffic congestion and improve traffic management in the city.
AECOM India Pvt. Ltd. has been appointed to prepare the Detailed Project Report (DPR).
The redevelopment will include modern designs and elevated corridors.
