New Ring Road: To make Delhi pollution free and reduce the pressure of vehicles, preparations are being made to run vehicles on the Third Ring Road from December. Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena held a meeting with officials of several departments regarding the progress of work on the Important Urban Extension Road (UER-2) of Delhi Development Authority (DDA). With the opening of this road, the burden of about 2.5 lakh vehicles on the Outer Ring Road and Inner Ring Road is expected to be reduced.
The journey from Alipore to Delhi Airport will become very easy. Work on UER-2 is going on at a cost of Rs 3600 crore. There is a plan to run traffic on this road from December this year. Of this 75.71 km long road, 54.21 km falls in Delhi and 21.50 km in Haryana. It will start from Delhi-Panipat near Alipur.
UER-2 is divided into five phases
It is divided into five stages. The first phase is from NH-1 Delhi-Panipat Highway intersection to Karala-Kanjhawala Road (15.70 km), of which 99 percent work has been completed. The second phase is from Karala-Kanjhawala Road to Nangloi-Najafgarh Road (13.45 km), of which 83.70 percent work has been completed. The third phase is from Nangloi-Najafgarh Road to Dwarka Sector-24 (9.66 km), the work of which has been completed. The remaining two phases fall in Haryana. It is claimed that completion of UER will ease traffic on the Outer Ring Road and Inner Ring Road. UER-2 will provide direct access between Sonipat and Gurugram in Haryana. Traffic will improve in Outer Delhi, West Delhi and South-West Delhi.
Expected changes in infrastructure
The project connects National Highway-44 (Delhi-Chandigarh Highway) with National Highway-48 in South Delhi. Many other areas including Bawana, Narela-Kanjhawala, Mundka and Dwarka will be connected to it. A road from Sonipat/Jind, Najafgarh to Bahadurgarh also connects to the Dwarka Expressway from Gurugram in Haryana. It further connects the Eastern and Western Peripheral Expressways.
don't make pillars
In the meeting the Lieutenant Governor discussed the existing obstacles and the way forward. Regarding the ongoing construction on Mangeshpur drain, he directed that no pillar should be built for the road on the right side of the drain. He said that building pillars in these drains hinders the flow to a great extent.
