Delhi Infra Watch: From AIIMS to Brittania Chowk, road stretches undergo restructuring

With the redesigning project of over 500-km road stretches being started, small patches of roads are being worked on across the national capital. The project envisages redesigning the footpaths, increasing green cover and planting new trees, new lighting, creating cycle tracks and redesigning the drainage at a few areas.

The objectives of the project are to decongest roads, encourage the use of non-motorised vehicles, public transport and walking. The aim is also to make roads more accessible to people with disabilities and more user-friendly. It also aims at making more efficient use of space, improving road geometry and making the roads safer.
