NEW DELHI: The crawl at Ashram just ahead of the DND Flyway may cease to be a bane for people living in the vicinity of what is among the city's busiest roads. PWD now plans to extend the Ashram flyover till the DND Flyway, making traffic flow on Ring Road smoother, while providing quick access to the main road for residents of Kilokri village located a stone's throw from DND. This will help them avoid a 2-km detour to get on to Mathura Road or to go towards Lajpat Nagar, both of which are actually less than a kilometre away from the village.

According to the plan, the current flyover will be extended by constructing an elevated road that will touch down at a point where the DND Flyway starts. "It will be a kilometre-long span from Ashram flyover. Under the extended portion, we will construct a U-turn that residents of Kilokri village and neighbouring colonies, such as Siddharth Extension, can use to go towards Mathura Road or Lajpat Nagar," said a PWD official.

Near DND, the extended portion will split into two arms one going towards DND Flyway and the other towards Sarai Kale Khan.
