The Nand Nagri T-Junction flyover is part of a critical segment of a larger plan to make the Mangal Pandey Road in North East Delhi signal-free on the stretch between the Signature Bridge and the Ghaziabad border.

“The project had faced delays due to pending clearance to cut 27 trees, primarily around a 240-meter-long ramp near Mandoli Jail,” said Verma, who inspected the project site.

He stressed that with environmental permissions now granted, the final phase of work has resumed at full speed. The remaining construction work is expected to be completed within two months.

The tentative date of inauguration of the flyover is scheduled around September 16-17, around the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The 6.7-km stretch of the Mangal Pandey Road has long been troubled by multiple traffic cuts and uncontrolled junctions, causing persistent congestion and delays.

“To resolve this issue, the Delhi government undertook a two-part flyover project - a 1.4 km single-pillar flyover, including the Nand Nagri T-Junction, being executed by the PWD and a double-decker flyover being built by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation,” an official statement said.

Once operational, the Nand Nagri and Gagan Cinema junctions will become completely signal-free, significantly easing congestion in the area and improving connectivity across Northeast Delhi.
