The elevated corridor will be 5.5 kilometres long and bypass 12 busy intersections. (AI image) UTTIPEC has cleared the PWD proposal to decongest Maa Anandmayee Marg from Outer Ring Road to Mehrauli-Badarpur Road. The plan includes a six-lane elevated corridor, an underpass and a roundabout at the Crowne Plaza intersection with Okhla Estate Marg.
The underpass will span 550 metres and will be accompanied by a roundabout at the Crowne Plaza intersection with Okhla Estate Marg. The underpass and roundabout will further help in decongesting vehicular traffic on Okhla Estate Marg. (AI image) According to a PWD official, the estimated cost for both the flyover and the underpass is between ₹250 crore and ₹300 crore. The proposal covers the six-lane elevated corridor, the Okhla Estate Road underpass and the roundabout at the Crowne Plaza intersection with Okhla Estate Marg. (AI image) Traffic assessments indicate that around 10,000 to 12,000 vehicles pass through the stretch every hour. Traffic heading towards Badarpur from Okhla Phase-1, Phase-2 and the Kalkaji Temple area converges at the Crown Plaza junction, resulting in severe, persistent traffic congestion there, according to an official. (AI image) The proposed flyover will begin near Govindpuri Metro Station and extend to MB Road. Traffic from Okhla Phase-1, Phase-2 and the Kalkaji Temple area converges at the Crown Plaza junction. (AI image) With lower traffic volumes at ground level, the project will also facilitate better provisions for pedestrian and non-motorised transport infrastructure along Maa Anandmayee Marg.
An underpass will be built on Okhla Estate Road as part of the proposed project. It will end just ahead of MB Road to facilitate access for commuters travelling from MB Road towards Kalkaji, as well as those moving from Kalkaji Temple towards MB Road. The flyover is part of the proposed six-lane elevated corridor. (AI image) The corridor aims to ease traffic congestion at Okhla Phase I and II industrial areas. The underpass and roundabout at the Crowne Plaza intersection will further help in decongesting vehicular traffic on Okhla Estate Marg.
