The Delhi government's ambitious plan to decongest the city with an elevated road over Mahatma Gandhi Marg is underway, with the Public Works Department leading the charge. Officials announced that a feasibility study for the 55-km-long corridor will be completed within seven months.

This study, part of a larger decongestion initiative, aims to address traffic bottlenecks on the vital Ring Road, which stretches from Nigam Bodh Ghat to Burari, covering major locations like AIIMS and Sarai Kale Khan.

The project, expected to cost upwards of Rs 17.6 crore, will require a public-private partnership and could extend to connect nearby NCR cities such as Noida, Ghaziabad, and Gurugram.
