Barapullah-III extension among 5 'critical roads' proposed for city.

The Union Ministry of Urban Development (UD) has proposed the construction of five critical roads to decongest Delhi and improve connectivity within the National Capital Region.

One of the five roads proposed is the extension of Barapullah phase-III. It will run from East Delhi to the airport, connecting the Dwarka Expressway.

Another of the 'five critical roads' proposed is Urban Extension Road-II, which will connect North Delhi with the airport and Gurgaon. Once this road is built, commuters will be able to avoid congested areas of Central and South Delhi such as Connaught Place and Rao Tula Ram Marg. 'This road will also decongest the Ring Road, especially the Rao Tula Ram Marg stretch,' an official said.

The other critical roads include extension of Chhattarpur and Mandi Road for better connectivity to Gurgaon and new connections from Noida and Faridabad. 'Minister of Urban Development Venkaiah Naidu has asked the Delhi Development Authority to engage a consultant of international repute to prepare feasibility reports for the proposed roads,'a senior UD official said.
