Delhi Plans New Five-Kilometre Road To Ease Congestion

20 Mar 2026 CW Team

The road is likely to be developed along the Agra Canal on the eastern side of the city and will improve access to Aali village and adjoining localities. Planners expect the new link to ease traffic bottlenecks that currently extend travel times on routes between Noida and Faridabad. The scheme is being presented as a practical response to longstanding congestion that affects daily commuters.

In a parallel measure, authorities have outlined plans for a new metro corridor to bypass the Kalindi Kunj bottleneck and to offer a faster public transport alternative. The proposed line will link Botanical Garden, Kalindi Kunj, Sarita Vihar and Tughlakabad and is expected to reduce dependence on road travel across the corridor. Officials suggested that coordinating road and metro interventions could produce a substantive improvement in overall traffic flow if implemented within the projected timeframes.

Planning work for the road project is reported to be underway with further construction details and timelines expected to be announced by the administration. If carried through, the combined interventions are projected to benefit millions of daily commuters who currently face unpredictable delays on key arterial links. Residents and businesses in the corridor are being told to anticipate staged works and temporary diversions as authorities finalise technical clearances and funding arrangements. Officials added that updates will be provided regularly to commuters and local stakeholders concerned.

The Delhi Government is preparing to construct a new five-kilometre two-lane road to ease chronic congestion around Kalindi Kunj and improve connectivity between South Delhi, Noida and Faridabad. The proposed stretch will run from Aali Vihar to Mathura Road and is intended to reduce pressure on the Kalindi Kunj intersection and the Ashram-Aali Road corridor.
