This flyover will pass over Ramprastha, Shrestha Vihar and Vivek Vihar red lights and will be completed within 15 months. Our aim is to eliminate traffic jams and pollution on the roads of Delhi, making the roads beautiful. 77 traffic hotspots have been identified across the national capital. Different plans are being made to free these hotspots to make Delhi jam free,” Kejriwal said.
