New Delhi: PWD officials on Tuesday said the construction work of the Ashram Flyover Extension Project will be completed within the given deadline. They said the construction work is in progress despite complex work conditions.

The six-lane flyover will end traffic bottlenecks at Ashram Chowk, a major intersection of Ring Road and Mathura Road. The total length of the flyover, including the ramp, is 1,425 metres. "We are carrying out construction activities amid heavy traffic on the arterial Ring Road. "Traffic cannot be shut down completely here, so the pace might have slowed down a bit, but we are on course," a PWD 

"Despite all these complications, we are trying to complete the construction activities by the end of November. "There is no change in the deadline of the project," a PWD official said.

In August this year, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia visited the construction site and said the flyover would be completed by November 2022. Earlier, the deadline to build the flyover was September of this year. The new flyover will connect to the existing Ashram flyover and terminate near the DND flyway.

Once completed, lakhs of people commuting from Noida and other parts of Delhi to the southern part of the city will be freed from traffic jams. The flyover will allow passengers to bypass three traffic signals between Ashram Chowk and the DND Flyway, making vehicular movement smoother.

The total cost of the six-lane flyover is Rs 128.25 crore. Three lanes of the ramp will be for traffic going from south Delhi to Sarai Kale Khan and DND, while the remaining three will be for vehicles going from ITO and Sarai Kale Khan to south Delhi.
