Overview

  • The Barapullah Phase-3 flyover, linking Mayur Vihar Phase-I and AIIMS via Sarai Kale Khan, is now 98% complete.
  • The remaining work is stalled due to pending Forest Department approvals to relocate approximately 274 trees.
  • PWD Minister Parvesh Verma highlighted expedited construction progress following the clearance of contractor payments earlier this year.
  • The project, originally slated for a 2017 completion, has faced years of delays due to land litigation, unpaid dues, and bureaucratic inefficiencies.
  • The Delhi government remains committed to opening the flyover by December 2025, citing its critical role in enhancing east-west connectivity and reducing congestion.
