NEW DELHI: Good news for pedestrians, joggers and cyclists: the PWD has taken an ‘American route’ to beautify and redesign a major portion of the road stretches in the national capital. Pre-construction work on the much awaited project has begun.
On the lines of ‘American standards’, ‘streetscaping, beautification and road redesigning’ will cover 500 km of 162 stretches. The estimated cost of civil construction for the proposed 500-km is around Rs 5,000 crore. The makeover is one of the poll promises of the Arvind Kejriwal government. Last year it was only a pilot project on 10 stretches.
