Delhi RTR flyover opens, to ease connectivity to Gurgaon, IGI airport

Rao Tula Ram (RTR) flyover which was delayed for a long time was opened by Delhi Chief Minister Mr Arvind Kejriwal.The roads raised than other roads are now open to the public, on the route to the Delhi domestic and international airport terminals from South and East Delhi and Noida. This will make the journey easier. The flyover on Outer Ring Road will also work to improve the journey to Gurgaon. After inaugurating the flyover, Mr Kejriwal tweeted, “Congratulations Delhiites. Overcoming all hurdles your govt finally succeeds in opening the RTR flyover from today. No more traffic jams on your way to the airport

The recently constructed 2.7 km flyover branches out of Munirka flyover and ends before Army Research and Referral Hospital near Subroto Park close to National Highway-8. The construction missed several deadlines before getting open for public. Its construction was started in November 2014.

The opening of the three-lane elevated road will be a great release for the motorists from South Delhi areas like Munirka, Hauz Khas, Greater Kailash and Noida, who will be able to get rid of the already blocked Outer Ring Road to reach the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport.

The flyover has been constructed at a cost of around Rs 310 crore due to the frequent delays to the project for numerous reasons.

The flyover was part of a bigger plan to decongest the busy Vasant Vihar, South Campus and Moti Bagh corridors. The other part of the project, the building of an underpass linking South Campus with San Martin Road in Chanakyapuri, is now anticipated to be completed later this year.
