Delhi govt begins planning for 80km elevated Ring Road redevelopment

Taking one step closer to executing the ambitious elevated Ring Road project, the Public Works Department has roped in AECOM India Pvt Ltd for undertaking feasibility studies, traffic analysis, and preparing the Detailed Project Report (DPR), Delhi government functionaries have said.

The corridor has also been divided into six phases, including Azadpur Flyover– Hanuman Temple (ISBT) (9.5 km); Chandgi Ram Akhara – Majnu Ka Tilla (2.5 km), Hanuman Temple (ISBT) – DND Flyover (11.5 km), DND Flyover – Moti Bagh Metro Station (10.5 km), Moti Bagh Metro Station – Rajouri Garden (10 km); Rajouri Garden–Pacific Mall (Pitampura)– Azadpur Flyover (13.5 km). The planning work is expected to be completed in 24 weeks, the agency has said, adding that the timelines have been fixed in four monthly cycles.

“To ensure efficiency and targeted intervention, the entire corridor has been divided into six development phases, covering Delhi’s most vital arterial stretches,” a PWD official said.

“Together, these segments will comprehensively address congestion, improve traffic management, and strengthen public mobility across north, south, and central Delhi,” the official added.
