A road under-bridge built at a cost of `12 crores was thrown open on Sunday for traffic to ease vehicular movement between Sarai Kale Khan and Nizamuddin, a second inauguration of the structure in two days.
The project completed with the help of railways is expected to ease commuting between Sarai Kale Khan, which has an inter-state bus terminal, and Nizamuddin where a railway station is situated.
The carriage-way is 3.5 m wide on both sides, while the approach road developed towards Nizamuddin side is 96 m and 72 m at Sarai Kale Khan side. The people of the area have to go long way round to reach these localities across the track.
The road was thrown open for public at a function attended by additional commissioner (engineering) Manish Gupta and former mayor Farhad Suri, a day after area MLA Tarvinder Singh Marwah had inaugurated it.
