Commuters travelling between Delhi and Faridabad are set to benefit from a major infrastructure upgrade, with a new six-lane elevated corridor project expected to reduce travel time to just 10–15 minutes.
The proposed Rs 800-crore project will stretch from Ashram Chowk in Delhi to Sarai Khwaja (Sector 37) in Faridabad. Designed to provide a “signal-free” experience, the elevated road will bypass some of the most congested bottlenecks in the region, including the heavily crowded Badarpur Border and Ali Village.
The corridor is aimed at easing traffic pressure along one of the busiest routes connecting Delhi with Faridabad, which sees heavy daily movement of commuters from across the National Capital Region.

Union Minister of State Krishpal Gurjar confirmed that the Detailed Project Report (DPR) has been completed, paving the way for the next phase of the project.
Construction is expected to begin once the necessary approvals are secured from the Environment and Forest Departments.
Currently, the primary link between the two cities is the 4.4-km Badarpur Elevated Flyover, opened in 2010. However, the route has become a major traffic bottleneck due to a sharp rise in vehicular movement from Noida, Gurugram and Delhi.
“Work will start very soon,” Gurjar said. “Once this elevated corridor is built, lakhs of commuters who travel daily between these cities will no longer have to remain stuck in gruelling traffic jams.”
The new corridor is expected to significantly improve connectivity within the NCR and reduce travel delays, effectively bringing Faridabad closer to south Delhi in terms of commute time.
