Delhi CM reviews progress of Shastri Park flyover work

NEW DELHI: Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday visited the Shastri Park flyover construction site to review progress of the project.
The flyover, which is scheduled to be ready by October this year, is nearing completion and the straight portion of the flyover is likely to be inaugurated next month.
"Construction of both Shastri Park and Seelampur flyovers is nearing completion. The straight portion will be inaugurated in August and the loops will take around 1.5 months more.The sanctioned cost of the projects was Rs 303 crore, but we are hoping that it will be completed within Rs 250 crore. The project got a little delayed due to the pandemic. Otherwise it would have been completed by now. I hope that the flyovers will ease out the difficulties faced by the commuters in the area," Kejriwal said while interacting with media persons near the site. The work is being done by the public works department.
