Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The Delhi government has approved a revised cost of Rs 291 crore for the Karawal Nagar double-decker flyover project in northeast Delhi, up from the original estimate of Rs 220 crore, with completion targeted for December.
- The project, executed by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, is the city's first integrated structure combining a flyover and a metro corridor in one.
- Around 88% of construction is done, and the government says work was delayed in 2023 due to pending approvals.
- Once open, the 1.4km flyover is expected to take 65-70% of traffic off the congested surface road and provide a signal-free stretch from Gokulpuri to Signature Bridge.
What to watch next
- Whether the December completion deadline is met
- Further changes to the project cost beyond the revised Rs 291 crore
- Traffic impact once the flyover opens, including congestion relief on the surface road
