Commuting will get easier for people of the national Capital especially to South-West, North and North-West as the Government is planning to construct a 16.4 kilometres signal free road parallel to Najafgarh drain. The signal free stretch will provide a straight connectivity from Kakrola Mor to Punjabi Bagh. 

"Currently, the condition of the roads and paths on this route especially on the Najafgarh road is very poor, due to which driving on this route becomes a hurdle for the commuters. Thus, as per the proposed plan, an elevated grade separator will be constructed on the Kakrola Mor. Once the plan will be approved and passed by the concerned authorities, travel will be easier for the people going to Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, North-West Delhi and Haryana," said a senior official from the Public Works Department (PWD).

As per the proposed plan, the stretch which will start from Kakrola Mor to Punjabi Bagh will be constructed on both sides of the Najafgarh drain. The width of lane will be three-three meter each side and also around 10 small size bridges will be built on the drain. Sources also said the Government is very keen to start the project early to make the road smoother and safer for the commuters. "Number of meeting has been taken by the Minister of PWD Satyender Jain to discuss on the project. Minister has also directed to resolve all the problems and modalities and start the project at the earliest."

According to officials, the core working group of Delhi Government had held a meeting to discuss on the proposal in March 2015. On November  16, 2016 a meeting was held with the stakeholders for further approval.

By the end of the 2016, the project plan (map of plan) was prepared and a communique seeking permission for the construction on the drain was  sent to the Department of Irrigation and Flood Control in May 2017.

The estimated budget for the whole project is Rs 700 crore.
