In a major step towards easing traffic congestion and improving urban mobility, the Public Works Department (PWD) under the Delhi government has awarded a infrastructure development and mobility improvement project to AECOM India Pvt. Ltd. The initiative focuses on comprehensive redevelopment and modernisation of the Mahatma Gandhi Road Corridor (Ring Road)- one of the most critical transport lifelines of the national capital.
Speaking about the project, PWD Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh said, “Mahatma Gandhi Road is not just a transport corridor – it’s Delhi’s backbone. Our mission is to make this corridor smarter, safer, and faster. This project marks a decisive step toward creating a connected and efficient capital where every citizen benefits from better design and smoother travel.”

“We’re not just building roads; we’re building a smarter Delhi. Every flyover, every junction, and every signal point will be redesigned to serve citizens more efficiently,” he said.
Spanning a total length of 55 kilometres, the project aims to enhance connectivity, decongest major intersections, and promote sustainable urban transport through elevated corridors over existing ring road.
AECOM will undertake detailed feasibility studies, traffic analysis, and prepare the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the corridor’s complete transformation.
To ensure efficiency and targeted intervention, the entire corridor has been divided into six development phases, covering Delhi’s most vital arterial stretches:
Azadpur Flyover (Mandi) – Hanuman Temple (ISBT): 9.5 km; Chandgi Ram Akhara – Majnu Ka Tilla (Outer Ring Road): 2.5 km; Hanuman Temple (ISBT) – DND Flyover: 11.5 km; DND Flyover – Moti Bagh Metro Station: 10.5 km; Moti Bagh Metro Station – Rajouri Garden: 10 km and Rajouri Garden – Pacific Mall, Pitampura – Azadpur Flyover: 13.5 km
Together, these segments will comprehensively address congestion, improve traffic management, and strengthen public mobility across north, south, and central Delhi.
