With the Center accepting the Delhi government's proposal for Rs 803 crore in funding, 152 important sections, including the Ring Road and other flyovers, totaling more than 330 km throughout the Capital, are scheduled to undergo a significant makeover that includes repair, reconstruction, and resurfacing.According to officials, the Central Road and Infrastructure Fund (CRIF) money were granted earlier this month by the Minister for Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), who also requested administrative approval for the projects from the Delhi government. The MoRTH's CRIF program gives states and Union territory money to build and maintain important roads and infrastructure."Delhi is witnessing a new era of infrastructure development," stated Parvesh Sahib Singh, Minister of the Public Welfare Department (PWD).
Roads are the lifeblood of any contemporary city, and by fortifying these vital thoroughfares, we are guaranteeing millions of commuters' safety, speed, and sustainability every day."This project aims to build top-notch urban infrastructure that fulfills the dreams of all Delhiites, not just fix roads," he continued.PWD officials insisted that this "project will take the Capital a giant step closer to the vision of a Viksit Delhi" and that the city would see one of the most comprehensive road upgrade and infrastructure development programs in recent years. Roads in the Central, North, East, Northeast, Shahdara, and Northwest districts will be upgraded, new corridors will be built, flyovers will be developed, and roads will be strengthened, resurfaced, and widened, according to officials.The Kashmiri Gate ISBT to Wazirabad, Vikas Marg, ITO circle, Ferozshah road, and the Nizamuddin to Kalkaji stretch are some of the important sections that will undergo repairs and improvements. Another important route that will be extended is the Noida Link Road, which links Noida to Central and East Delhi.In order to relieve traffic and enhance connectivity in Outer, West, and Northeast Delhi, the PWD also intends to build three new flyovers at the Rajouri Garden-Tagore Garden stretch, Rohtak Road (Military Road–Jhansi Road), and on Road 63 and Gokulpuri stretch. The letter from MoRTH to the Delhi Chief Secretary said, "The competent authority in this ministry has agreed to approve the work listed to an amount of Rs 803.39 crore to meet the cost of work debitable to the Government of NCT of Delhi's allocations under the CRIF Act, 2000."
