The Delhi Cabinet on Monday approved two major road projects with the aim of reducing traffic congestion in the city.

The Cabinet cleared the construction of the Barapullah Phase-III elevated corridor that will provide direct, signal-free connectivity from Mayur Vihar in east Delhi to AIIMS in south Delhi. It also gave the nod for constructing a six-lane elevated corridor on the Mehrauli-Badarpur road.

The Cabinet also took note of the “unnecessary delays” that occurred in the construction of the Barapullah Phase-III elevated road over the Barapullah drain, connecting Sarai Kale Khan to Mayur Vihar, during the tenure of the previous government.
