PWD begins decongesting Moolchand to Ashram flyover stretch

The Public Works Department (PWD) has begun work on the nearly 4-km-long Moolchand to Ashram flyover stretch in a bid to decongest the corridor and make it safer for pedestrians. As part of this, a ‘sports centre/play area’ will come up below the 2.5-km-long Lajpat Nagar flyover for residents of nearby areas who have no access to parks.

Lakhs of vehicles use this road, which sees heavy traffic snarls every day. To bring uniformity to the road, the department is removing bottlenecks and widening carriageways with equal width and length on both sides.
