DMRC Begins Feasibility Work for South Delhi Elevated Corridors

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has begun feasibility studies and prepared a detailed project report for a network of elevated corridors, underpasses and road redesigns linking Saket, Sangam Vihar, Khanpur, Pul Prahladpur and Badarpur. The proposal aims to improve connectivity along Mehrauli-Badarpur (MB) Road, which carries heavy congestion owing to dense residential clusters, roadside parking and rising vehicular pressure. The work is presented as an integrated corridor alongside existing and proposed Metro infrastructure to minimise land use and improve traffic movement.

The DPR and feasibility exercise is scheduled for completion within four months, and consultancy work for preparing the DPR has been estimated at Rs 14.7 million, where one million (mn) is used henceforth. The larger six-lane elevated corridor and underpass project has been costed at about Rs 14.71 bn, with bn denoting billion. The project is being planned to align with existing flyovers and Metro corridors to reduce land acquisition and integration complexity.

The scheme envisages a nearly five-kilometre elevated corridor from Sangam Vihar to Maa Anandmayee Marg, a 1.1-kilometre elevated stretch from Pul Prahladpur towards Badarpur, and a 1.9-kilometre section between Maa Anandmayee Marg and Pul Prahladpur to be redesigned under Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure (Planning and Engineering) Centre (UTTIPEC) norms. The alignment is expected to link major junctions and densely populated areas, including Saket G-Block, Ambedkar Nagar, Khanpur and Pul Prahladpur. A nearly 2.48-kilometre six-lane elevated flyover above the Metro tunnel is proposed in a subsequent phase.

Components will include elevated roads, underpasses, subways and tunnels to reduce bottlenecks and improve commuter movement between south Delhi and the Badarpur border. The appointed consultant will undertake traffic volume surveys, origin-destination studies, parking assessments and road safety audits and prepare plans for pedestrian movement, parking management, service roads and multi-modal integration around Metro stations. The DPR will also examine land acquisition, utility shifting, environmental impact and tree transplantation and will consider coordination with the National Highway Authority of India, Delhi Development Authority, Delhi Urban Art Commission and UTTIPEC as required.
