Overview
- PWD officials said Tuesday that contracts are in place, a foundation stone will be laid next month, and on‑ground work will start a month later with a 24–30 month build window.
- The project adds two half flyovers at Savitri Cinema and Kalkaji and extends the Modi Mill flyover to Kalkaji Temple as part of an integrated revamp from Modi Mill to IIT Gate.
- Indian Express reported the work was awarded to Gawar Construction Limited, while officials pegged key costs at Rs 58 crore for Savitri and Rs 312.94 crore for the Modi Mill–Kalkaji link.
- PWD will seek a traffic police no‑objection certificate before major work and plans phased, mostly night shifts to keep vehicles moving on this heavy‑use stretch.
- Officials say the upgrades will remove signal stops, raise speeds, and improve links to Gurgaon, Noida, Faridabad, and IGI Airport, which could cut commute times for large parts of South Delhi.
