Najafgarh to get 3 flyovers

With an aim to initiate development projects in Najafgarh sub-city in Outer Delhi, Public Work Department (PWD) has decided to construct three flyovers at vital link roads at Najafgarh chowk. These flyovers will connect the areas with Gurgaon, Jhajjar and Bahadurgarh and also provide hassle-free traffic movement at this stretch.

Talking to The Pioneer, PWD Minister Raj Kumar Chauhan said that PWD had decided to construct three flyovers at Najafgarh chowk connecting Sai Dham Temple to Dhansa road, Dichaon Kalan depot to Dhansa road on Nangloi road and Haibatpura extension to Dhansa road to provide commuters hassle-free journey on this stretch. “The PWD has been directed to appoint consultant to conduct detailed drawings and traffic feasibility report for this purpose. This is the only stretch, which connects Gurgaon, Jhajjar and Bahadurgarh to Najafgarh chowk in Delhi. It is now important to decongest Najafgarh chowk in view of another proposal which is being ready between Jhajjar and Dwarka,” said Chauhan.

According to Chauhan, the proposed flyover between Sai Dham Temple and Dhansa road and Dichaon Kalan depot to Dhansa road via Nangloi will be two kilometre long while flyover from Haibatpura extension to Dhansa road will be about 0.700 kms long. The Najafgarh sub-city chowk in west Delhi is heavily crowded from four directions. The chowk is surrounding by thousands of villages in west Delhi, hence large number of pedestrians also use this chowk for reaching nearest bus stands — Delhi Gate, Chhawla, Dhansa, Nangloi, Sai Dham Temple and Bahadurgarh bus stand. Beside this, there are four schools located near Najafgarh chowk also use these roads as footpath. PWD officials say the traffic volume during the peak hours are very high at this stretch and traffic jam is a routine affairs at Najafgarh chowk.
