New Delhi corridor to reach INA, Noida (Hindu 21 October 2010)

NEW DELHI: Once the first phase of the newly commissioned Barapullah elevated road corridor here gets completed by December, the Public Works Department plans to begin work on the second phase comprising construction of the remaining part of the road from the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium to INA Market.
It will also provide more connections on Lala Lajpat Rai Marg and Ring Road that include crossing over a railway line as well.
Project Manager Sarvagya Srivastav said: “At present if people want to get on to the elevated road from Ashram they have to take a U-turn and then get on to the left carriageway and then get on to the elevated road. To solve the problem we will provide a direct connectivity from Ashram to the elevated road in the second phase. Similarly, to come from Barapullah elevated road to DND side, one has to take a left and a U-turn. So we will provide a direct connection between the two sides in the subsequent phase of the project.”
In addition, two more connections for ‘left in and left out' on Lala Lajpat Rai Marg and ‘in and out' connections on Ring Road would be provided to facilitate direct access to and from the Barapullah elevated road to various existing roads.
The third and final phase would involve extension of the elevated road to Noida by construction of a bridge across the Yamuna. Pegged at a budget of about Rs.600 crore, the second phase is likely to be completed in two years after award of the contract.
