Commuting between Delhi and Noida will become hassle-free after the Ashram flyover extension is opened to public. It will cut down on travel time between Delhi and Noida by 25 minutes. Let us know that this flyover was closed from 1st January 2023. People traveling from Delhi to Noida had to take the Barapulla flyover. This 1.5 km long flyover connects South Delhi to Noida in Uttar Pradesh. Ashram Chowk South Delhi and Central Delhi are very important links. It connects Mathura Road and Rig Road.
Construction work for the 1,425 metre long flyover extension had started in June 2020 after the project was approved by the Cabinet. The total cost of the project is ₹128.25 crore.
Meanwhile, CM Kejriwal had earlier also denied allegations that a slight delay in opening the route was linked to the arrest of his former Deputy Manish Sisodia. “It is likely to be inaugurated on Monday. The postponement was not due to Sisodia (arrest). But a few works remain which would be completed soon,” he said.
