23 Feb 2026 CW Team

The Delhi government has approved a road redevelopment project worth Rs eight point zero two billion (bn) that will cover 400 km of urban roads across the city. The scheme aims to upgrade arterial and feeder roads to improve mobility and reduce wear and tear. The announcement follows planning studies that identified a need for coordinated resurfacing and structural rehabilitation.

The work will include resurfacing, reconstruction of damaged carriageways, improvement of pedestrian pathways and cycle tracks, and upgrade of stormwater drainage to reduce waterlogging. Street lighting and road signage will be modernised and measures to enhance road safety will be prioritised. The project is expected to address surface deterioration and provide a more durable pavement structure.

Implementation will proceed in phases to manage traffic disruption and allow continuous maintenance of critical routes. The city public works department will oversee tendering and contract management and will coordinate with local agencies responsible for utilities and traffic management. Contractors will be required to meet technical specifications and timelines set by the authority.

The authorities expect the redevelopment to ease congestion, shorten travel times and improve conditions for public transport and non-motorised mobility. Long term maintenance planning has been highlighted as essential to preserve the benefits of the investment and to avoid premature deterioration. The project is presented as a step towards a more resilient urban road network.
