The Public Works Department (PWD) is planning to construct three-lane ramps on both sides of Mukarba Chowk flyover to separate city and interstate traffic and reduce congestion.
According to senior PWD officials, Mukarba Chowk is a major junction on the Outer Ring Road as it is surrounded by several national highways – Delhi-Jammu, Delhi Kanyakumari, NH-1 Bypass, GT Karnal Road, Delhi-Multan Road – and is a main entry point into the city from the Singhu border. As a result, several heavy vehicles ply on the route.
“The stretch also sees vehicle movement between West and Central Delhi and congestion even during non-peak hours.
