Currently, buses coming to ISBT from North Delhi’s Burari, Majnu-ka-Tilla, take U-turn at ground level before turning left into the terminal, causing huge traffic during morning and evening hours.

Huge traffic jams occur frequently on Ring Road between ISBT Kashmiri Gate and Hanuman Mandir during morning and evening peak hours as traffic.

The new ramp, officials said, will merge into the existing elevated road that descends in front the bus terminal. After construction of the new ramp, buses coming to ISBT will directly enter in the bus terminal, thus smoothening the traffic.

“PWD has decided to appoint a consultant to make structural design of proposed up-ramp at ISBT Kashmiri Gate. Once the up-ramp is constructed, it will reduce traffic congestion near Kashmiri Gate and Nigam Bodh Ghat,” said a senior government official.
