NEW DELHI: Northern Railway plans to decongest the area around the Paharganj side of New Delhi station as part of which it will construct 11km of elevated corridors terminating at the station.
The proposed corridors will offer multiple entries to the station from Basant Lane, Chelmsford Road and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Marg. The exit ramp of the elevated structure will be on Asaf Ali Marg and Bhavbhuti Marg.
A tender for the project was floated last month, disclosed an official of the Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA), which will hold a pre-bid meeting on August 2. A senior Railways official added that the plan also involved widening the road around the station such as Chelmsford Road, Bhavbhuti Marg, Minto Road, Panchkuian Road and Basant Road.
