According to the Public Works Department, the Ring Road Corporation starts from Bodh Ghat to Burari about 55 km long. This is the major road of Delhi and connects major places like AIIMS, Ashram, Sarai Kale Khan, Punjabi Bagh and Lajpat Nagar in the city. “The proposed elevated corridor is expected to be approximately 80 km long, which will include ramps, loops and additional connecting roads, which will provide better connectivity and easier traffic flows in many heavy jam places,” said an official.
