Delhi Government Clears Three Major Flyover Projects
Aiming to ensure smoother traffic flow and reduce congestion in the capital, the Delhi Government has approved major projects covering three key flyovers. The plans include a new flyover on Janakpuri–Pankha Road and comprehensive repair and rehabilitation of the Zakira and Seelampur flyovers.

PWD minister Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma said on Tuesday that the two flyovers undergoing retrofit are critical, high-load structures. The approvals reflect what the government described as a balanced infrastructure strategy, creating new capacity in congestion-prone corridors while undertaking scientific, technology-driven repairs of ageing flyovers to ensure public safety and long-term durability.
Janakpuri–Pankha Road Flyover: DPR and Feasibility Study Approved
To address persistent congestion on one of West Delhi’s busiest corridors, the government has approved the engagement of a consultant to conduct a feasibility study and prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for a proposed flyover on Janakpuri–Pankha Road from DESU Colony to Janakpuri D-Block.
According to the PWD, the DPR will examine:
- Traffic volume
- Road geometry
- Land availability
- Engineering feasibility
- Future mobility requirements
The exercise is aimed at ensuring the flyover is need-based, technically sound and future-ready rather than a short-term traffic management measure. The Janakpuri–Pankha Road crossing is described as one of the busiest stretches and a key route for residents of Janakpuri and surrounding areas.
It is also a major connector linking West Delhi to New Delhi and Delhi Cantonment via Cariappa Marg.
Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma said: “We are planning ahead where congestion is rising. Janakpuri Pankha Road needs a permanent, well-designed solution, and this DPR is the first step towards that.”
Saket to Pul Prahladpur: Rs 1,471 Crore Elevated Road Plan
In South Delhi, a six-lane elevated road is being planned from Saket G-Block to Pul Prahladpur. The Delhi Government’s finance committee has approved the Rs 1,471 crore project.
Key details include:
- Total length: approximately 5 kilometres
- Configuration: six lanes
- Target completion: December 2027
The road is intended to reduce traffic pressure along the corridor and provide faster, uninterrupted movement for commuters. Officials have stated that the project is expected to strengthen what has been described as South Delhi’s “lifeline.”
Zakira Flyover: Rs 20.18 Crore for Structural Rehabilitation
Alongside new construction, the PWD has sanctioned Rs 20.18 crore for the repair and rehabilitation of the Zakira Flyover, one of Delhi’s most critical junctions and a location prone to waterlogging during the monsoon season.
Zakira Flyover carries heavy daily traffic and has faced structural stress over the years. Constructed in the 1970s, it connects Rohtak Road and Najafgarh Road in outer Delhi and supports a large volume of commercial vehicles from industrial hubs such as Mundka, Nangloi and Anand Parbat, making it one of the busiest freight corridors in the area.
The approved scope of work includes:
- Repair of spalled and honeycombed concrete
- Replacement of expansion joints
- Replacement of elastomeric bearings
- Strengthening of girders using CFRP laminate and carbon fibre wrapping
- Prestressing of strands
- Overall strengthening of the flyover
These methods are described as modern techniques used globally to extend the life of bridges and flyovers.
Seelampur Flyover to Undergo CFRP-Based Strengthening
The Seelampur Flyover is also set to undergo major repair work, with Rs 17.85 crore approved for rehabilitation. The focus is on improving load-bearing capacity through CFRP technology and other scientific interventions.

Officials have stated that the application of such techniques is expected to extend the operational life of older flyovers by several decades while enhancing safety for road users.
Government’s Vision for Delhi’s Road Infrastructure
PWD minister Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma has stated that Delhi’s roads must be safe and strong, with the government focusing on upgrading weak structures through modern engineering methods. The department is implementing the projects with defined timelines and accountability, ensuring that repair work on existing roads proceeds alongside new construction.
Authorities have said that this combined approach is intended to reinforce corridors that serve as the capital’s transport lifelines while addressing rising congestion in high-traffic zones.
What the New Approvals Mean for Delhi’s Traffic Network
The set of approvals brings together new flyover planning, elevated road construction and technology-driven rehabilitation of ageing structures. With DPR studies underway in Janakpuri, a fixed timeline for the Saket–Pul Prahladpur corridor and sanctioned budgets for Zakira and Seelampur, the projects collectively represent a multi-pronged effort to manage traffic growth, strengthen freight routes and improve commuter movement.
Officials have emphasised that the emphasis remains on long-term durability, scientific repair and future-ready design rather than temporary congestion fixes, as the city continues to expand its transport infrastructure.
Infrastructure and Spiritual Responsibility
While the Delhi Government and the Public Works Department proceed with traffic decongestion measures and technology-driven repairs, Tatvadarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj has also spoken broadly about civic responsibility and public welfare in society.
Tatvdarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj Ji has emphasised that development and human conduct should move together, with citizens and authorities alike remaining conscious of safety, discipline and long-term public good. In this perspective, infrastructure projects are viewed not only as engineering exercises but also as collective efforts that affect daily life, community harmony and social balance, reinforcing the need for accountability and foresight in urban planning.
