Redevelopment of nine Delhi roads to be based on specific theme, says PWD

NEW DELHI: The nine road stretches that the Delhi government plans to decongest and redevelop by January 2022 will each have a theme based on the area, locality and surroundings.“Each area is different. Some are in lush green locations while some are in a dilapidated condition. So, there will be different concepts, design and theme for each,” said an official.

At the Tikri border, the PWD is planning to make the entrance grand with decoration, signages, history, route maps, information board and designer streetlights, besides other features. Similarly, Nelson Mandela Marg may be redeveloped and the route which connects JNU will have statues and photographs of Nelson Mandela, history and street art based on the South African anti-apartheid icon. The road will also be made safer for pedestrians, said officials.
