Delhi's long-awaited Barapullah Phase 3 corridor is scheduled to be inaugurated on September 29, 2026, aiming to improve connectivity between East Delhi, South Delhi, and Noida while reducing travel time and congestion on some of the major roads.
Delhi's Barapullah Phase 3 Project
The Barapullah Phase 3 project is a 3.5-km, four-lane elevated corridor connecting Mayur Vihar Phase I with Sarai Kale Khan, which is expected to improve connectivity towards AIIMS and other parts of South Delhi. After opening, it will connect with the existing Barapullah flyover network, creating a continuous corridor of nearly 9 km for commuters travelling between East Delhi, Central Delhi and Noida.
How will Delhi's Barapullah Phase 3 Project Benefit Commuters?
The new corridor is expected to bring down travel time for commuters travelling towards South Delhi. The journey to areas such as AIIMS, which currently takes around 35 to 40 minutes, could be reduced to nearly 15 minutes. The improvement is expected to come from the signal-free elevated route and better connectivity with the existing Barapullah network.
The corridor has nine interconnected loops designed to distribute traffic through different entry and exit points and is expected to reduce congestion at major junctions. The project also includes Delhi's 10th road bridge across the Yamuna. The bridge uses an extra-dosed design and has spans of around 125 metres.
The Barapullah Phase 3 corridor has been completed at a revised cost of Rs 1,635 crore, which is around Rs 375 crore higher than the initial project estimate. The project faced several delays over the years before reaching completion. Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to inaugurate the corridor on September 29, 2026.
The project also includes other facilities for pedestrians and cyclists, including cycle tracks and pedestrian pathways along the corridor to improve mobility for cyclists and pedestrians, along with road connectivity for motorists.
