Travelling between Southeast Delhi and Indira Gandhi International Airport could soon be smooth and signal-free as the Public Works Department (PWD) plans to decongest the Outer Ring Road (ORR) stretch from Modi Mill (Okhla) flyover to IIT Delhi gate intersection, near the flyover.
As part of the plan, the department is planning to widen and integrate the existing Okhla flyover with Kalkaji flyover. And, two new flyovers will come up near Kalkaji and Savitri Cinema.
Currently, the 7.2-km stretch from Okhla to IIT-Delhi sees heavy traffic even during non-peak hours due to frequent intersections, signals, choke points, poor upkeep of roads, potholes and single-lane flyovers. Ongoing construction of the Ashram Flyover extension has worsened things.
