Ashram flyover to be extended till DND flyway to ease the traffic
The Public Works Department (PWD) has proposed to extend the Ashram flyover over the Maharani Bagh T-point till the point where the DND flyway meets the Ring Road in a move which could provide major relief to commuters travelling to Noida and East Delhi.
The suggestion was submitted by the consultant hired by the PWD for bettering traffic movement on the Mathura Road, from Ashram Chowk to Hotel Rajdoot, and on the Ring Road, from Ashram flyover to DND flyover.
An official said, “The proposal will be sent to the Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure (Planning and Engineering) Centre’s working group for in source approval sometime this week.” It will ensure hassle-free traffic movement from Moolchand till DND flyway, once completed.
An official said, “It will also help open up the turn towards C V Raman Marg, which is presently closed If the Ashram flyover is extended, Till now, those coming from the Ashram flyover side and wanting to go to C V Raman Marg have to move straight along the Ring Road, take a U-turn near Gurdwara Bala Sahib and get back on the Ring Road through a loop road to proceed towards C V Raman Marg.”
An underground road has also been proposed, which will provide direct access from Mathura Road to NH-2, to recover traffic movement on the stretch from Ashram Chowk to Hotel Rajdoot.
The official said, “Construction of the underpass will provide direct access to traffic from Bhogal and nearby areas towards Faridabad. This road will have three levels: a superficial level road, a railway overbridge and an underpass.” The Ashram Chowk intersection provides connectivity between Mathura Road, NH-2 and the Ring Road (connecting Lajpat Nagar-Sarai Kale Khan and DND flyover) and happens to be one of the busiest connections in Delhi.
