Delhi New Flyover: Good news for Delhi commuters relief from the daily traffic snarls at Kashmere Gate Inter-State Bus Terminal (ISBT) may be on the way. The government is planning to construct a new flyover connecting Nigambodh Ghat (near Margat Wale Baba) to Majnu Ka Tilla, potentially turning the stretch from Rajghat to Majnu Ka Tilla into a signal-free corridor. This could significantly ease long traffic jams in the area.

Currently, traffic near ISBT is chaotic, with vehicles converging from five directions.

"The idea is to streamline traffic flow and reduce congestion at ISBT. The proposed flyover would pass above the existing ISBT structure, cross the Metcalfe Road red light, and descend near Majnu Ka Tilla," an official from the Public Works Department (PWD) told NDTV.

The PWD has reportedly been asked to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the flyover. Sources quoted by NDTV estimate the project cost at around Rs 500 crore, with a completion timeline of roughly two years once construction begins. Meanwhile, a tender for an older flyover proposal has been put on hold.

If built, the flyover could greatly reduce travel time for thousands of vehicles that use this busy corridor daily.
