Kalindi Kunj to Get Rs 5 Billion Flyover, Interchange

To tackle persistent congestion at the Kalindi Kunj intersection, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) plans to build an interchange facility and flyover aimed at easing traffic between Delhi, Noida, and Faridabad.

A 500-metre-long interchange, estimated to cost Rs 5 billion, is part of a long-term solution proposed to eliminate traffic conflicts at the Kalindi Kunj bridge, which links the Delhi-Noida Road and Agra Canal Road near Okhla Barrage.

The NHAI has invited bids from consultants to prepare a detailed project report (DPR), with submissions due by 23 June. This follows a feasibility study conducted in 2022 by the Uttar Pradesh Public Works Department, which recommended constructing flyovers and interchanges to improve traffic flow.

The Central Road Research Institute (CRRI), which analysed traffic patterns using data from the Kalindi Kunj metro station and key arterial roads, highlighted that traffic from South Delhi, Noida, and Faridabad converges at this junction, creating severe delays during rush hours.

The issue was recently discussed in a meeting between Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, where it was agreed that NHAI would take forward the DPR based on CRRI’s findings.

According to CRRI’s Chief Scientist Dr. S Velmurugan, an interchange or grade separator—similar to the Modi Mill flyover—could significantly reduce congestion.

Traffic pressure has intensified since the opening of the 24-km Delhi–Mumbai Expressway segment along the Agra Canal last November, which has led many commuters from Sarita Vihar, Okhla, and Faridabad to reroute via Kalindi Kunj to avoid Mathura Road jams.

The flyover and interchange project aims to provide a seamless traffic corridor and restore efficiency to one of the National Capital Region’s most bottlenecked junctions.
