Junction Bypass
A new 5.5-km elevated corridor on Maa Anandmayee Marg could let through-traffic bypass around 12 intersections between Outer Ring Road and Mehrauli-Badarpur Road, potentially changing how commuters move through one of South Delhi's busy stretches.

The Okhla Corridor
The corridor is designed to tackle congestion on a road carrying substantial traffic linked to Okhla Phase I and II industrial areas. The plan also includes an underpass and roundabout at the Crowne Plaza intersection on Okhla Estate Marg.

Traffic Shift
The Mukarba Chowk plan takes a different approach: widen the existing Outer Ring Road ROB from six to 10 lanes and build a new four-lane ROB over the Delhi-Sonipat railway line. The new link is expected to divert around 20% of existing traffic.

Metro Access
Six Delhi Metro stations are also getting multimodal access plans covering roughly 300 metres around each station. The focus is on the often-tricky final stretch of a journey, with better walking routes, last-mile connectivity, safety and interchange between transport modes.
