The project will strengthen and resurface nine west Delhi roads, including Najafgarh Road, Punjab Garden Road, Ginni Devi Road, Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Marg, Pankaj Batra Marg, and Lal Sai Mandir Marg.

The government will also improve the 10-kilometre service lane on Rohtak Road between Mundka Industrial Area Metro Pillar No. 410 and 570. Sisodia, who also holds the PWD portfolio, directed officials to follow safety norms during the construction work to avoid inconvenience to commuters.

“Delhi government, as part of its vision to make city roads world class, is conducting a survey of the capital’s roads with experts and preparing blueprints for making these stretches stronger and safe,” Sisodia said in the statement.

The Public Works Department (PWD) will also maintain the pavements, central verges, and service lanes of these road stretches, including lane marking and white washing of parapet walls and railings.

“As the roads in these areas were developed a long time back, they have now developed cracks on their upper surface, due to which the movement of vehicles has been blocked in many places,” Sisodia said.

“With the strengthening of these roads, the traffic will be smooth and the travel time of the people will be saved,” he added. Sisodia also stated that Rohtak Road was one of Delhi's busiest stretches, with lakhs of vehicles passing through it every day, causing heavy traffic jams.

Because of the presence of a large number of industries, the existing service lane along the road is also congested and requires maintenance on a regular basis, he added.

The service lane will be built to improve the commute of the industries' employees.

Road re-carpeting, comprehensive maintenance and upkeep of pavements, central verges, and service lanes, and greenery on the central verge and on either side of the road are all part of the road strengthening project.

Sisodia stated that aesthetics such as road furniture, pedestrian pathways, and LED lights will be maintained.
