NHAI Undertakes Project to Remove Traffic
Bottleneck at Subroto Park Airforce Station in
Delhi
Posted On: 07 NOV 2025 5:03PM by PIB Delhi
In order to improve traffic flow and enhance connectivity between Dhaula Kuan and Delhi Airport,
NHAI has undertaken widening of carriageway on LHS (towards Gurugram) from 2 Lane to 4 Lane
at the Subroto Park Air Force Station in New Delhi. The project will help to remove the traffic
bottleneck on the left side of the road at starting of Parade Road underpass where traffic movement is
currently restricted towards Gurugram from Delhi. At this junction, the road tapers into 2-lane from 4-
lane on LHS due to presence of Metro Pillar at the edge of the carriageway. To create space for road
widening, relocation of drain, peripheral road and building of the Air Force Station is being done. The
project is expected to be completed in about six months.
The project also includes construction of a new Foot Over Bridge (FOB) near Subroto Park Air Force
Station at starting of RTR flyover, for enhancing safety and providing better connectivity to
pedestrians. A part from this, the project will have enhanced drainage system that will help in efficient
disposal of rain/surface water.
The initiative also focusses on environmental sustainability, with include plans for tree transplantation
as well as deployment of anti-smoke guns and water sprinklers to minimize pollution during
construction. Also, traffic marshals, tow-away cranes and safety cones will be placed at the project
site to effectively manage moving traffic on the National Highway during the project implementation.
Widening of this section will bring significant improvement to the infrastructure & transportation
network in National Capital Region and enhance Delhi – Gurugram connectivity that will benefit
commuters and residents alike.
