Delhiites Elevated! After a Long Wait, RTR Flyover Opens in Delhi

New Delhi, July 16: After a long wait, the elevated, three-lane, 2.7km long Rao Tula Ram (RTR) flyover was opened by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today.

 

Now, the 2.7km stretch of road can ease the pain and frustration of navigating rush hour traffic in South Delhi. the newly constructed RTR flyover branches out of the Munirka flyover and ends before the Army Research and Referral Hospital near Subroto Park close to National highway-8.

The RTR flyover is built at a cost of nearly Rs. 310-crore and is expected to ease traffic flowing to the Indira Gandhi International Airport at Gurugram, and provide relief to hassled commuters from neighbourhoods like Munirka, Hauz Khas and Greater Kailash, who have become resigned to bottlenecks and jams on Outer Ring Road in South Delhi. The project, flagged off in 2014 missed several deadlines of completion due to planning permission delays.
