Delhi will benefit from further traffic improvements
Delhi is to benefit from nine road upgrade projects worth a total of over US$155 million. The improvements are being made in India's capital to help tackle increasing vehicle densities, which are further boosting congestion problems. One of the key projects is for a 525m six lane flyover on Upper Ridge Road. The rest of the projects include 14 multilevel underground unconventional parking sites at various locations, a six lane divided carriageway between Faiz Road and Vande Mataram Marg, an 802m six-lane divided underpass on Shankar Road, and 47km of road improvements in the Okhla industrial area. The projects will be implemented under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (2831 JNNURM).
