Underpass proposal revived to break Ashram bottleneck

Chowk intersection provides connectivity between Mathura Road, NH2 and Ring Road (connecting Lajpat Nagar-Sarai Kale Khan and DND flyover). It happens to be one of the busiest intersections in Delhi. The flyover on the Ring Road at the Ashram crossing gets choked during peak hours on all weekdays,’’ the PWD official said.
In order to ensure smooth traffic movement between Delhi and Faridabad, PWD is also looking at reviving the Kalindi Kunj bypass project. Construction on the 6.5 km bypass from Kalindi Kunj Colony Ring Road to Kalindi Kunj Road was awarded in March 2003 at a cost of Rs 63.41 crore.
The project was to start on May 15, 2003, and completed by May 14, 2005. However, the UP government refused to part with land. “The land issues will no longer be a problem for implementing the project as we are planning a realignment of the bypass. This will be done by a consultant,’’ the official said.
