Chief minister Atishi on Wednesday inaugurated
the 2.2km-long six-lane flyover that connects Anand Vihar to the Apsara Border
in east Delhi. Two trees that grow in the middle of the flyover have been
barricaded by the Public Works Department (PWD) because the forest department
has not given permission to fell them
The flyover
goes from the Anand Vihar Railway Overbridge (ROB) to Dilshad Garden ROB,
avoiding three traffic signals at Ramprastha Nagar, Surya Nagar and Shrestha
Vihar, creating a signal-free stretch
from Anand Vihar to Seemapuri. It is expected to improve traffic flow between
east, northeast, and central Delhi. “The flyover will help 150,000 people
every day. People, especially residents of east and northeast Delhi, face
traffic chaos here every day while going to the Apsara border. When people use this flyover, they will
skip three red lights and reduce travel time by 12 minutes. This will also save
consumption of 40,300 litres of petrol and diesel every day and reduce carbon
emissions,” said Atishi.
The flyover’s
construction was completed in August but its opening was delayed because of the
two trees near the flyover’s median which the forest department has not allowed
to be felled...The two trees — neem and jamun — are located close to the median on
the carriageway going from the Apsara border to Anand Vihar. Officials said
that reflective markers, traffic cones and cautionary signages have been placed
around the trees for the safety of road users.
PWD had in
September proposed that the flyover be constructed while cordoning off the two
trees. The traffic police and PWD also carried out multiple trials along the
flyover by allowing traffic for a few hours daily and keeping the trees
barricaded for safety.
Atishi said
that the flyover was built for ₹347 crore, ₹25 crore lower than its initial
cost estimate of ₹372 crore. Atishi said that this is the 38th flyover and
underpass project that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government has inaugurated in
the last 10 years.
