New Delhi: The pilot projects for transforming Delhi's seven roads to standards of European cities will be completed by this August, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said while reviewing the work in a meeting on Friday. The AAP dispensation will also provide road, water and sewer lines connectivity in all unauthorised colonies of the city by March next year, according to a government statement. Kejriwal reviewed the road redevelopment project under which 32.5 km will be taken up in the pilot phase. The whole project will involve revamping 540-km roads with the Tourism department managing their streetscaping and beautification.
The roads covered under the pilot project are Ring Road from Mayapuri to Moti Bagh junction, Ring Road from AIIMS to Ashram, Vikas Marg-Laxmi Nagar Chungi to Karkari More, Narwana Road-Mother Dairy to Punch Mahal Niwas, Britannia Chowk to Outer Ring Road, West Enclave, Pitampura, Wazirpur Depot Crossing (NSP) to Rithala Metro Station, Shivdaspuri Marg and Patel Road. The roads will also have statues of Bhagat Singh and Rani Laxmi Bai. The redesigning project was approved by the Kejriwal government in 2019. Under it, the Delhi government has decided to build 100-foot-wide, 540-kilometre-long roads in the style of European cities.
