Excitement is building in Delhi as the long-awaited Barapullah Phase 3 flyover is set to open on September 29, 2026. This significant infrastructure project promises to enhance connectivity between East and South Delhi, providing a more efficient travel option for commuters.
Improving Connectivity with Modern Design
Announced by Delhi PWD Minister Pravesh Sahib Singh, the flyover will feature a dedicated signal-free connection from Mayur Vihar Phase 1 to Sarai Kale Khan, along with crucial access to AIIMS and further into South Delhi. The overall Barapullah corridor will extend to approximately 9 kilometers, making it an essential route for those navigating the city.
A Focus on All Road Users
What sets this flyover apart is its inclusive design. Besides accommodating motor vehicles, the project incorporates dedicated cycle tracks and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. This innovative approach allows cyclists and pedestrians to travel safely alongside vehicles, making it India's first flyover corridor designed explicitly to cater to diverse road users.

After nearly a decade of planning and construction—originally sanctioned in 2014—the Barapullah Phase 3 exemplifies modern urban development. Despite facing multiple delays, the project emerged with a revised investment of around ₹1,635 crore, showcasing resilience in overcoming challenges. With the completion of this flyover, commuting in Delhi is set to become not only faster but also healthier and more inclusive.
As the opening date approaches, the anticipation among residents continues to grow, heralding a new era of urban mobility in the city. Delhi commuters have much to look forward to with this remarkable addition to the city's infrastructure.
