PWD Plans to Decongest Key Junction near IGI to Ease Access

To provide relief to people travelling to Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, Public Works Department (PWD) is planning to decongest the main access road and junction near the NSG headquarters in Mehram Nagar. 
According to officials, discussions are underway on developing an integrated transit corridor at the junction. For this purpose, a feasibility study will be conducted to determine whether the construction of an underpass, flyover, or both, will achieve PWD's goal of decongestion. 
The project also involves road widening of North Access Road, which has several major hotels at Aerocity on the route and connects to the stretch going towards Terminal 3. The junction in Mehram Nagar often faces traffic snarls, especially due to the increased movement of taxis in and around the airport in recent years. Hence, a plan is being discussed for a grade separator at the spot. The proposed corridor is expected to reduce jams on Dwarka Road, Mehram Nagar and Ulan Batar Road. 
The most recent example of a street connectivity and corridor improvement project taken up by PWD is in the Punjabi Bagh area, where the department constructed one main flyover and a 'half flyover' to decongest a section of Ring Road. 
"Tender has been floated for conducting a feasibility study for decongesting the junction. The intersection near NSG HQs is a four-arm signalised one that connects IGI Airport to NH48 and Dwarka. Long queue lengths can be observed during peak hours, which delays airport-bound traffic," said a PWD official. 
Last year, two approach elevated stretches - Aerocity flyover and the parallel access road flyover - were opened to the public to smoothen the traffic movement to and from Delhi airport. 
"With airport traffic consistently increasing, it is important to improve the efficiency of this junction so that it can cater to future traffic loads," said the official. 
The agency that will be commissioned to carry out the study will have to complete the work within a two-month timeframe and submit its report to the department with detailed graphics and a layout plan for the intervention that is required to be made.
