The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is set to build a pedestrian subway connecting the Aerocity Metro Station with the nearby locality of Mahipalpur, thereby improving accessibility to the Capital’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport, officials aware of the matter said on Thursday.
This subway, the officials said, will pass under the busy Mahipalpur flyover on NH48, and will be 270m long. However, no timeline has been set for its completion at present.
Currently, the Delhi Aerocity station is an important station on the Airport Express Line, providing direct connectivity moving ahead to the Delhi airport, as well access to the Aerocity locality. However, people living in hotels in Mahipalpur are forced to cross the busy NH-48 to cover the 400m-odd distance to the Metro station.
