NEW DELHI: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday inaugurated the cloverleaf ramps and service roads of the Mayur Vihar Phase-1 flyover. The project is a part of Barapullah elevated road corridor under Phase-Ill extension from Mayur Vihar to Sarai Kale Khan in the national capital.
According to Delhi government, these ramps and service roads are an essential part of the project which is planned and executed by the Public Works Department Delhi. “The projects get completed before deadlines and under the estimated budget. This is possible because an honest government is in power.
The service roads, cloverleaf loop, ramps, and cycle track are being inaugurated today. This will bring a huge relief to the people of this region as well as the entire East Delhi area from traffic jams,” said the chief minister.
Kejriwal also took to Twitter to share the news and said, “Inaugurated the new ‘Cloverleaf’ built on Mayur Vihar Phase-1 Flyover today. With the opening of these loops and ramps of the Barapullah Phase-3, the people of Delhi will experience a lot of convenience in travelling. Especially people travelling between Delhi & Noida will benefit a lot from it.”
A cloverleaf is a junction of roads intersecting at different levels with connecting sections forming the pattern of a four-leaved clover. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, PWD Minister Satyendar Jain were also present at the inauguration.
PWD officials said the new infrastructure will help motorists avoid red light on the Mayur Vihar Phase-l Junction.
