8-Lane Bhalswa Flyover In Delhi Thrown Open To Public Saturday May 21,2016

The eight-lane Bhalswa Flyover, built at a cost of Rs. 45 crore, was today thrown open for the public by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who claimed that the AAP government has saved Rs. 20 crore in the project.

The flyover, part of the 20 km-long Vikaspuri-Wazirabad signal-free elevated corridor, is aimed at easing traffic on Outer Ring Road.

"PWD has saved Rs. 20 crore by constructing the eight-lane Bhalswa Flyover at a cost of Rs. 45 crore against its estimated cost of Rs. 65 crore," Mr Kejriwal told a gathering in New Delhi.

The newly-constructed flyover will help decongest traffic in Bhalswa, Burari, Rohini and result in commuters saving on fuel.

Around 1.80 lakh vehicles will use this stretch daily.

The construction work of the project have been completed in 8 months.

At the occasion, PWD Minister Satyendar Jain lauded the work of his department for saving money in its every project and slammed DDA and MCD for not "saving money" in their projects.
