Delhi: Nitin Gadkari inaugurates flyover at Dhaula Kuan junction

NEW DELHI: Union minister for road transport and highways on Saturday inaugurated a flyover at the national capital's Dhaula Kuan junction.
The flyover has been built in a record time of 136 days and will reduce the waiting time at Dhaula Kuan traffic signal.
Gadkari inaugurated the four-lane flyover at Dhaula Kuan junction near Dhaula Kuan metro station on NH-8 on Saturday.
The flyover is believed to reduce the waiting time at the traffic light by 30 minutes at peak hours.
The National Highway-8 (New NH-48) is the prime link providing connectivity to the IGI Airport from Delhi and the National Capital Region.
The project had huge challenges in terms of traffic management of about 3 lakh PCUs (passenger car units) per day, the presence of a large number of civil and defence utilities, shifting of defence infrastructure and getting security clearances.
