Commuters travelling between Delhi and Faridabad are set for a major relief as a new six-lane elevated corridor project gears up to slash travel times to just 10 to 15 minutes.
The proposed Rs 800-crore project will stretch from Ashram Chowk in Delhi to Sarai Khwaja (Sector 37) in Faridabad. Designed to provide a “signal-free” experience, the elevated road will bypass some of the most congested bottlenecks in the region, including the heavily crowded Badarpur Border and Ali Village.
-Speedy Commute: The project aims to reduce the travel time between Ashram and Faridabad to 10-15 minutes.
-Bypassing Traffic: The 6-lane road will run above existing congested areas, allowing vehicles to skip the frequent jams at the Badarpur border.
-DPR ready: Union Minister of State Krishpal Gurjar confirmed that the Detailed Project Report (DPR) was complete.
The construction is expected to begin shortly once clearances are obtained from the Environment and Forest Departments.
Currently, the primary link between the two cities is the 4.4 km Badarpur Elevated Flyover (opened in 2010). However, due to the massive surge in daily traffic from Noida, Gurugram, and Delhi, that route has become a permanent traffic hotspot.
“Work will start very soon,” stated Minister Krishpal Gurjar. “Once this elevated corridor is built, lakhs of commuters who travel daily between these cities will no longer have to remain stuck in gruelling traffic jams.”
This infrastructure boost is expected to transform connectivity for the NCR, making Faridabad feel like a doorstep neighbour to South Delhi.
The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.
The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
