The urban development ministry has approved an assistance of Rs 658 crore for five major infrastructure projects aimed at easing key stretches in Delhi. While four will be new projects, the Centre has sanctioned Rs 85 crore for completion of the stalled grade separator at Rani Jhansi Road, a project that had started in 2006. The new projects are a flyover and underpass connecting Mahipalpur, Aerocity, IGI Airport and NH-8; a skywalk and foot over bridge (FOB) near ITO; a flyover-cum-rail over bridge near Narela for providing direct access from NH-1 to the Bawana Industrial Complex and widening of the road near Kashmiri Gate ISBT and Nigambodh ghat. The central aid comes from the urban development fund, which DDA collects as onetime charge for conversion of leasehold properties to freehold. This is used for social and physical infrastructure projects. Union Urban Development Minister, M Venkaiah Naidu said, with the central assistance, the 1.6-km Rani Jhansi Road grade separator can be completed in a year. The cost of the flyover, from Filmistan to Boulevard Road, was Rs 200 crore. Work on the project had come to a standstill after the North MCD had spent Rs 115 crore on it.
