The Delhi government is set to build an elevated road stretching into Haryana and has requested a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Haryana government for the project. The 20-kilometre-long elevated corridor is proposed to connect Bawana to Inderlok in Delhi and is being spearheaded by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Sharma. The entire project will be executed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
The estimated cost of constructing this elevated road is around ₹3,000 crore, to be borne by the Delhi government. Once completed, the road will serve two Lok Sabha constituencies and 18 Assembly segments.
The elevated road will create a direct link between Sonipat in Haryana and Inderlok in Delhi. From Inderlok, major locations such as ISBT, Karol Bagh, and Connaught Place will be easily accessible, significantly improving inter-state connectivity for commuters from Haryana.
An elevated road—also known as a flyover—is constructed above ground level, usually supported by pillars or bridge structures. These roads help divert traffic above congested areas, reducing jams and easing vehicular movement on ground-level roads.
Bawana, an industrial hub in Delhi located near the Haryana border, often witnesses heavy traffic due to the inflow of vehicles from Haryana. Commuters travelling from Bawana to Inderlok, Rohini, Punjabi Bagh, and Pitampura regularly face bottlenecks. The new elevated road is expected to provide major relief from these persistent traffic jams.
One of the primary reasons behind the elevated road project is the dangerously narrow stretch of National Highway-1 near the Western Yamuna Canal. The road is prone to frequent accidents, and in some tragic instances, vehicles have plunged into the canal. There have been longstanding demands to upgrade Canal Road, but it is only now that the Delhi government has taken note. CM Rekha Sharma has expressed the desire to address this issue by constructing the elevated corridor.
