Elevated ramps, flyovers to clear traffic chaos around station

The Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) has prepared a comprehensive traffic circulation and road improvement plan to cater to the footfall and vehicular traffic that is likely to increase once the redevelopment work on the New Delhi Railway Station kicks in next year.

The plan was submitted to the Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure (Planning and Engineering) Centre (UTTIPEC) in July.

Vice-chairman of RLDA, Ved Parkash Dudeja said, “We have prepared a detailed plan to cater to the increase in traffic and footfall and ensure smooth traffic movement in and around the station complex. This will also help in reducing congestion in Connaught Place.”
