Delhi Metro Elevated Corridor Project: To ease traffic in South Delhi, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has come up with an elevated corridor project consisting of underpasses, subways and redesigned roads. The project will aim to reduce congestion in the Mehrauli-Badarpur (MB) Road corridor.

THESE Commuters To Benefit

The new project will benefit those travelling along Sangam Vihar, Saket, Khanpur, Pul Prahladpur and Badarpur routes.

As per officials cited by a Hindustan Times report, the project will boost South Delhi-Badarpur border travel by bringing together various metro lines and flyovers.

A 5-km elevated stretch will link Sangam Vihar with Maa Anandmayee Marg via the MB Road corridor, improving connectivity along this busy route. A 1.1-km elevated road is also planned from Pul Prahladpur towards Badarpur, designed to ease traffic flow in border-adjacent zones that often witness heavy congestion.

The project also includes an elevated link between Saket G-Block and Sangam Vihar, further strengthening connectivity. A 1.9-km section between Maa Anandmayee Marg and Pul Prahladpur is set to be reworked to enhance vehicular movement.
