The bridge to be built at the Footi Kothi intersection and will start from Dayal Guru Gate located on Western Ring Road, which will cross the intersection and end in front of Dastur Garden.The design will be such that no pillar comes at the site of the current rotary located at the square. This means there will be no obstruction in front of traffic going from Ranjit Hanuman’s side and coming from Dwarkapuri’s side.
The time limit for the construction of the flyover has been fixed for one and a half years.
