25 Jan 2024 CW Team

In a bid to alleviate the persistent traffic congestion at Dhaula Kuan, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, has proposed a groundbreaking solution for Delhi and Gurugram. The plan involves the installation of a ropeway system connecting the two cities, aiming to provide a swift and efficient alternative for commuters.

Gadkari emphasized the need for innovative measures to combat the escalating traffic snarls that have become synonymous with Dhaula Kuan. The proposed ropeway project, if approved, would not only ease the burden on existing road networks but also contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly transportation system.

The envisioned collaboration between Delhi and Gurugram signifies a concerted effort to address the growing urban mobility challenges in the region. The ropeway plan, a first of its kind for these bustling cities, holds the potential to redefine commuter experiences and set a precedent for other metropolitan areas grappling with similar issues.

The initiative aligns with the government's broader vision to promote alternative modes of transportation, reduce vehicular emissions, and enhance overall urban connectivity. As discussions unfold, stakeholders are eager to explore the feasibility of the ropeway project and its potential impact on the daily lives of residents and businesses in the Delhi-Gurugram corridor.

If successfully implemented, the ropeway system could serve as a model for urban transportation solutions, offering a glimpse into a future where innovative infrastructure projects play a pivotal role in mitigating traffic woes and fostering sustainable urban development.
