Delhi to Introduce U‑Turn, Widen Roads and Update Google Maps to Ease Barapullah Phase III Congestion

Delhi authorities have announced a three‑pronged plan to tackle the persistent gridlock at Barapullah Phase III. The proposal includes constructing a dedicated U‑turn to streamline vehicle movement, widening the existing carriageway, and coordinating with Google to update erroneous map information that often misguides commuters.
The traffic snarls in the area have long frustrated daily commuters and commercial vehicles, prompting the municipal corporation to seek immediate engineering solutions. Officials say the U‑turn will allow vehicles to reverse direction without entering the main thoroughfare, reducing bottlenecks during peak hours.
Road widening is slated to add an extra lane on each side, creating a smoother flow and accommodating the growing traffic volume. Simultaneously, the government will engage with Google Maps to rectify the location of the new U‑turn and revised lane layout, ensuring navigation apps reflect the changes accurately.
Implementation is expected to begin within the next few weeks, with completion targeted before the upcoming festive travel rush. The measures aim to restore normalcy to one of Delhi’s most congested corridors.
