Delhi-Meerut Expressway to be completed in mid-August

The final structure of the Delhi-Meerut Expressway (DME) - the rail overbridge - is expected to be completed by mid-August. It required the placing of a heavy truss weighing about 2,300 tonnes and supported by a 1,100-tonne temporary structure to shape up the overbridge. The placing of the has truss had led to heavy traffic snarls.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will now shut three exits in Vijay Nagar area which have been in place for traffic movement between the highway and expressway lanes on the DME. Officials said that the exits were in place to avoid traffic congestion due to the construction of the rail overbridge at Chipiyana near the Crossings Republik.

“The placing of the truss is complete and now we are in the process of removing the supporting temporary structure. It is expected that two additional lanes will be made available for traffic in the next two to three days and this will ease the traffic situation. Once the rail overbridge is complete, we will close down three exit points between the expressway and highway lanes. This will ensure hassle-free movement of traffic,” Puneet Khanna, manager (technical), NHAI, said on Tuesday.
