Overview
- The approvals, announced Sunday, cover widening the Haiderpur-Badli rail overbridge and building an elevated loop between Shalimar Bagh and Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar.
- Northern Railway found Public Works Department designs technically feasible and issued in-principle no-objection certificates with the Divisional Railway Manager’s sign-off.
- The Railways directed that all work follow prescribed safety standards under its technical oversight to prevent disruption to train operations and road traffic.
- The projects target chronic jams at Mukarba Chowk on the Outer Ring Road and the Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar corridor, which carry heavy commuter and freight traffic each day.
- Construction has not begun and will move ahead after final design steps, remaining clearances, and tendering, with the government saying the works are expected to cut travel times once finished.
