This project, which was stuck for a long time due to various reasons, has now got new momentum and the construction work is progressing on a war footing. Completion of this project will not only save time for daily commuters, but will also reduce the vehicular pressure on many busy routes of the capital to a great extent.

According to officials, the construction work has been resumed after obtaining the necessary permissions for the project. In this important phase, six new pillars will be erected, which will strengthen the structure of the flyover. After the pillars are ready, the process of laying the slab will be started, due to which the structure of the flyover will be completely connected. The administration claims that now there will be no relaxation in the work and efforts are being made to dedicate it to the public as soon as possible.

A special strategy has been adopted to complete the construction work of the flyover in a time bound manner. Under this, the entire work has been divided into small sections of 250-250 meters, so that work can be done on each part with precision and speed. Concreting, finishing and other important technical works are going on simultaneously at many places on the site. Looking at the current progress, it is being said that work in most parts of the project has now reached its final stage, which is a news of relief for the people of Delhi.
The journey from East to South Delhi will be completed in just 20 minutes, direct bus service expected from Mayur Vihar to Sarai Kale Khan.
The biggest benefit of this project will be a huge reduction in travel time. After completion of Barapula Phase-3, it will be possible to operate direct bus service from Mayur Vihar Phase-1 (probable) to Sarai Kale Khan. At present, it takes 40 to 50 minutes to cover this distance and passengers have to face traffic jams at many places, but after the opening of the flyover, this journey will be completed in just 20 minutes. This will prove to be a boon for thousands of people who commute between East and South Delhi daily for work.
Commuters of Noida and Ghaziabad will get direct benefit, will get relief from heavy traffic pressure at DND and Ashram Chowk.
The impact of the commencement of Barapula Phase-3 will be visible not only on one route, but on the traffic management of the entire area. With its commissioning, the movement of vehicles going from Noida, Ghaziabad and East Delhi to South Delhi will become very smooth. The biggest relief will be given to busy areas like DND Flyway, Ashram Chowk and ITO, where there is severe traffic jam during peak hours. With the opening of this new route, the traffic pressure on these major routes will automatically reduce and the drivers will be able to get an alternative and faster route.
The project was started in the year 2014, after missing the deadline several times, now there is hope of completion soon.
This important project has a long history. Its foundation stone was laid in September 2014 and its construction work started in April 2015. Initially, the deadline of 2017 was set for its completion, but it kept getting delayed due to land acquisition and other technical reasons. Now, when the hurdles have been removed and the work has been speeded up again, there is hope that Delhiites will soon be able to enjoy this speedy journey.
