Barapullah Phase 3 Traffic Chaos Sparks Emergency Talks
- •The Barapullah Phase 3 flyover is facing major traffic bottlenecks as heavy vehicular movement is funnelled into only three lanes.
- •The design and traffic management of the crucial Delhi corridor are currently under intense scrutiny due to mounting congestion.
- •Emergency discussions are underway among authorities to find immediate solutions and ease the heavy traffic pressure on commuters.
Key Questions Answered
Heavy vehicular movement from the new corridor and surrounding routes abruptly funnels into just two to three lanes on the older Barapullah stretch, creating a major bottleneck and severe daily gridlocks near Sundial Park and Sarai Kale Khan.
Emergency meetings are being held by the Public Works Department alongside the Delhi Traffic Police and NHAI to explore structural modifications, redesign the sharp merger geometry, and implement traffic diversions.
The Barapullah Phase 3 corridor was inaugurated on September 29 and was officially thrown open for public use starting September 30.
