Delhi PWD Seeks Road Over Ridge In Sangam Vihar

07 Apr 2026 CW Team

The Delhi public works department (PWD) has moved a proposal seeking permission to construct a road over the Ridge in Sangam Vihar to improve connectivity and ease traffic congestion. The agency has submitted the plan to the relevant municipal and forest authorities for clearance and has said the route would reduce travel times for commuters in the southern fringes of the city. The proposal has revived long standing tensions between development priorities and environmental protection.

Environmental groups have raised concerns that construction over the Ridge could lead to the loss of mature trees and degradation of habitat that supports local biodiversity. They have urged authorities to require a thorough environmental impact assessment and to explore less intrusive options before any clearance is granted. City planners and engineers have pointed to technical options such as an elevated carriageway or limited access routes that they say would minimise ground disturbance.

Officials indicated that statutory procedures will guide the next steps, including scrutiny by the forest department and a period of public consultation to hear objections and suggestions. Residents of Sangam Vihar have expressed mixed views, with some welcoming improved road links and others worrying about noise, dust and the loss of green cover. The municipal agency is reported to be preparing conditions focused on compensatory plantation, pollution control and phased construction to mitigate impacts.

Legal protections that apply to the Ridge and other ecologically sensitive zones will be central to any decision and may require clearances at multiple levels. Stakeholders said that transparent timelines and independent monitoring will be important to balance mobility needs and conservation imperatives. The matter is expected to proceed through statutory review before any on ground work commences.
