Jain today inspected various under-construction projects and announced that work on two projects would be completed by December 31, 2015. He also instructed officials to construct foot-over-bridges to ease traffic movement on Outer Ring Road.
"I inspected an under-construction PWD project between Wazirabad and Swaroop Nagar which got delayed due to land acquisition issue. Locals are resisting demolition of their houses to make way for the road.
According to the PWD, only eight km of the 12-km project has been completed in the past three years. "We will also make dedicated cycling track on this road as people from unauthorised colonies live alongside this project," Jain said.
The Minister directed the PWD to expedite construction of elevated corridor between Wazirabad and Vikaspuri and ordered to complete the project by December 31.
The Minister also gave instruction for feasibility study to construct foot-over-bridge between Mukarba Chowk and Delhi border.
"There is no foot-over-bridge here and it practically impossible to cross the road here. So the department will assess the scope of constructing FOBs here," Jain said.
"At presents the distance between the colony to metro station is three-kilometres which will reduced to 700 meters with the skywalk," Jain said.
