The Delhi government has announced the construction of a 5.5-kilometer-long elevated road in the Pushta Sonia Vihar area, aimed at easing traffic congestion and improving connectivity in the trans-Yamuna region. The project, with an estimated cost of ₹500 crore, has received approval from the Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, according to Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Parvesh Verma.
‘The local MLA and Minister Kapil Mishra has been pushing for this project. Due to the presence of many trees in the area, we have decided to construct a flyover instead of a conventional road. After discussions with the chief minister, the project has been approved, and work will commence following deliberations with the Flood Department,’ Verma said.
The elevated road will stretch from Nanaksar Gurudwara to Shani Mandir (UP border), offering relief to thousands of daily commuters.
Karawal Nagar MLA Kapil Mishra emphasised the project’s significance, stating, ‘The BJP government is working at a fast pace, and this project is a testament to that. This road has been a major issue for trans-Yamuna residents, and today, we have resolved it. Lakhs of people use this route daily.’
PWD Minister Verma, along with Delhi’s Water Minister and Tourism and Culture Minister Kapil Mishra, inspected the area, including Nanaksar Gurudwara Chowk in Wazirabad, to review ongoing improvements and assess the project’s feasibility.>
