en.Wedoany.com Report on Mar 26th, In the Delhi government's 2026-27 budget, ₹13.92 billion has been allocated for strengthening and reconstructing approximately 750 km of Public Works Department (PWD) roads. This allocation is part of a broader budget of ₹59.21 billion for the PWD and ₹78.87 billion for the Urban Development Department. The funds are intended for the "comprehensive" reconstruction of the PWD's 1,400 km network, with construction on 500 km of roads already initiated last year. This allocation will be used to improve traffic conditions on key stretches in Delhi and enhance the capacity of the city's transport network.

An additional ₹5.75 billion has been allocated for constructing and repairing eight critical stretches through the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and the PWD to alleviate traffic bottlenecks. Specific road construction projects include: ₹1 billion each for the expansion of the Mukarba Chowk underpass and the Barwala-National Highway 1 elevated road, along with funding for projects at Barapullah (₹21 billion), the doubling of the Savitri Cinema flyover and the Modi Mill-Kalkaji stretch (₹15 billion), the expansion of the Najafgarh flyover (₹4.54 billion), and the Mangal Pandey Marg underpass (₹9.9 billion). These road construction projects aim to improve traffic efficiency at Delhi's major transport junctions.

As India's capital, the improvement of Delhi's transport infrastructure is crucial for the city's functioning. The road construction investments in this budget will focus on addressing long-standing traffic bottlenecks. Through road reconstruction and the renovation of key junctions, the overall operational efficiency of the city's transport system will be enhanced. The PWD and the Urban Development Department will collaborate to advance the implementation of related projects.
