Delhi Plans New Flyover to Ease Outer Ring Road Traffic

30 Jan 2026 CW Team

PWD Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma said the proposed flyover is expected to provide direct relief to thousands of daily commuters by improving traffic flow on one of the Capital’s busiest arterial routes. The structure will connect the Supplementary Drain near Keshopur Depot to Haiderpur, creating a critical new link across congestion-prone stretches.

The department has initiated consultancy services for a detailed feasibility study to evaluate traffic volumes, engineering design, environmental impact and long-term sustainability. The study will help ensure that the project addresses key bottlenecks while aligning with Delhi’s broader urban development and traffic management strategy.

Neighbourhoods likely to benefit from the project include Keshopur, Haiderpur, Punjabi Bagh, Pitampura, Shalimar Bagh, Rohini and adjoining areas, which currently experience heavy congestion during peak hours. The flyover is expected to improve connectivity across these localities and reduce travel time for commuters.

Verma said the government is focused on ending the era of incomplete infrastructure projects, adding that all major works on the Outer Ring Road will be executed with technical rigour, transparency and strict timelines. The emphasis, he said, is on delivering durable, long-term solutions rather than temporary fixes.

The proposed flyover forms part of Delhi’s wider infrastructure modernisation programme, which includes multiple flyover projects across the city. The PWD has approved consultancy services worth several million rupees to conduct comprehensive studies before construction begins.

Once completed, the project is expected to significantly ease congestion on the Outer Ring Road and enhance mobility across north-west Delhi, supporting the city’s long-term transport and infrastructure goals.
