Delhi New Flyovers: In a bid to ease congestion in West and Northwest Delhi, the Public Works Department (PWD) has announced plans to construct three flyovers, with feasibility studies worth over Rs 10 crore set to begin soon.

The project is a part of the Delhi government’s broader initiative to decongest key stretches in the national capital, burdened by heavy traffic. “Tenders have been floated for all three projects,” news agency PTI quoted an official as saying.
