Two new flyovers opened for signal-free seamless transit to Delhi airport

The two flyovers will help ease the traffic movement to and from the airport, a DIAL spokesperson said.

DIAL is a GMR Airport Infrastructure Limited-led consortium that operates and manages Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport.

The 800m Aerocity Flyover is built between Andaz Delhi Hotel and Central Spine Road. The four-lane one-way flyover, constructed at Aerocity metro station junction, will reduce travel time from T1 to T3 of the IGI airport by making a signal-free movement, the DIAL spokesperson said.

The 600m Parallel Access Road Flyover, built between Andaz Delhi and the Hanuman temple near National Highway 48 (NH-48), is part of a dedicated corridor of two lanes on both carriageways for the cargo Terminal (to and fro) of the airport, he said.

The corridor will segregate the heavy vehicular movement from passenger vehicles and further help decongest the airport approach road, the spokesperson added.

Speaking at the inaugural function, I Prabhakara Rao, deputy group managing director of the GMR group said that passenger experience is paramount for the GMR and the same is visible in the various initiatives undertaken at the Delhi airport.

“However, for us, the passenger experience begins even before a traveller enters the Delhi airport. Keeping this in view, two new flyovers have been constructed to help ease the transit to and from Delhi Airport and provide seamless passage for the passengers,” he said.
