Completion of Barapullah Elevated Corridor Phase III Brings Relief to Delhi Commuters

Barapullah Elevated Corridor Phase III Completed

The construction of the third phase of the Barapullah Elevated Corridor in Delhi has finally reached completion after more than a decade of delays, providing significant relief for travelers between eastern and southern Delhi. Officials announced this development on Friday.

The Public Works Department (PWD) of the Delhi government has reached out to Chief Minister Rekha Gupta to schedule an official inauguration for this crucial road project in the national capital. The elevated corridor, which spans approximately 3.5 kilometers, began construction in 2015 and has faced multiple deadline extensions before its completion. This corridor will connect Sarai Kale Khan in East Delhi to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in South Delhi.

According to officials, once operational, commuters from Mayur Vihar and nearby areas traveling to Sarai Kale Khan, AIIMS, and South Delhi will benefit from mostly signal-free travel, significantly reducing travel time. This will also alleviate congestion in heavily trafficked areas such as National Highway-24, the DND Flyway, and the Ring Road. Initially approved in 2014, the project has experienced several delays, and its costs have escalated, with the revised total now standing at ₹1,635 crores.
