NEW DELHI (Metro Rain News): Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) plans to do a comprehensive study to find ways to ease out traffic in the Central Vistas area. The focus area of this study will be around the bustling stretches in the national administrative district, covering C-Hexagon, Man Singh Marg, Rafi Ahmed Kidwai Marg and Teen Murti Marg. The assessment will examine the mobility requirements of the area up to 2060.
The purpose of the study will be to find grade-separated infrastructure proposals for the decongestion of the Central Vista area. The study will include:
- Traffic Analysis
- Future Forecasting
- Micro Simulation
- Alignment Design
- Structure Feasibility Assessment
- Environmental Considerations
- Broad Cost Estimation of Work
- Vision 2060
DMRC has floated a tender for this project. The tender document says that the assessment should be completed in six months. The study is expected to assess tunnels and underpasses which can reduce traffic congestion in the area while maintaining the heritage area’s architectural and ecological importance. The corporation said that the intervening proposals should be sustainable and feasible both economically and technically.
The Central Vista is the key administrative area in New Delhi. It is one of the most significant areas, where the most vital national infrastructures such as Rashtrapati Bhawan, the Parliament House and India Gate are situated. Over the past few years, the government has pursued a project to redevelop the area. The DMRC Phase 5(A) expansion also includes a corridor to serve this area.
