Delhi govt clears key flyover projects

The expenditure finance committee (EFC) on Tuesday approved a budget of ₹1,471.14 crore for the construction of a six-lane elevated road and two underpasses along MB Road in south Delhi, which are aimed at easing chronic congestion on one of the city’s busiest arterial corridors, officials said.

Chief minister Rekha Gupta, who chaired the EFC meeting at the Delhi Secretariat, said the project was part of the government’s broader road infrastructure plan.

“This integrated elevated corridor on MB Road will help streamline vehicular movement in densely populated areas including Saket, Ambedkar Nagar, Khanpur and Sangam Vihar, while ensuring better coordination between metro and road infrastructure,” Gupta said.
