Stretches below 6 key flyovers to be revamped

New Delhi: Delhi govt has finalised plans to redevelop stretches under six key flyovers in east, central and north Delhi, focusing on transforming these neglected spaces into functional zones. The stress will be on enhancing public safety, optimising land use and creating structured zones.

In east Delhi, an 800-metre-long area under the Apsara Border flyover — from the MCD toll tax booth to the UP border — will be redeveloped. Another 820-metre-long stretch below the Mayur Vihar Phase-1 flyover has been chosen for significant improvement in layout and civic amenities.

In northwest Delhi, the Netaji Subhash Place flyover corridor, extending about 570 metres from Ring Road to the metro station, will be revamped. Stretches below the Oberoi and Lodhi flyovers in central Delhi, each around 700 metres long, will also undergo redesign and beautification.

The Mangi Setu-Hanuman Setu stretch, running from Red Fort to Salimgarh Fort, will be redeveloped over nearly 400 metres. It will feature a Ramayana-theme mural installation.

The project, formalised through an MoU with private players in the presence of chief minister Rekha Gupta on Monday, prioritises infrastructure upgrades and public usability of the stretches.

PWD minister Parvesh Verma said the initiative will introduce landscaped green areas, seating zones, sanitation facilities and improved lighting.
