Guess what guys! No more traffic on the Ajmeri Gate entrance of the New Delhi Railway Station. A skywalk connecting the New Delhi Railway Station with two metro lines, will be constructed within next six months decongesting the Ajmeri Gate side of the station.
Presently passengers arriving by metro and public buses have to walk through the vehicular traffic to reach the station building.
To resolve this problem and to facilitate the smooth movement of passengers, a skywalk is being constructed. It will be duly equipped with escalators and stairs. The work is being executed in close coordination with DMRC and is all set to be completed within the next six months.
Additionally, to handle the huge rush of passengers and vehicular traffic on the Ajmeri Gate side coming via the Bhavbhuti Marg, which many times causes massive traffic jams and congestion especially during peak hours, the entry road and circulating areas are also being remodelled completely.
Traffic marshals will be deployed to regulate the traffic and to prevent unauthorised parking, vending and encroachments in circulating area, which will eliminate traffic congestion and jams.
The entire circulating area is being re-developed with efficient drainage, high-quality concrete roads with multiple lanes, landscaping, fountains, state of the art LED sign boards, with separate lanes and parking for autos, taxis and buses.
The new skywalk aims to eliminate the cross movement of passengers from the metro stations to the New Delhi Railway Station and vice-versa
