The project includes re-carpeting, reconstructing service roads and constructing drains along the Palam Vihar road to ensure smooth traffic movement and prevent waterlogging, officials said.

A senior GMDA official said they will re-carpet around 1-km of the sector road, paint road markings for safe vehicular movement, install road furniture and safety equipment.

The work also includes footpath repair to facilitate pedestrian movement and installing cautionary sign boards. “The project will cost ₹5 crore for which the tender has been floated. The re-construction of the road and drains will ensure smooth movement of traffic and also prevent waterlogging,” he said.
