Participants examined proposals that include construction of new link roads, widening and strengthening of existing stretches and the provision of grade separators at major junctions to ease traffic flow. Attention was given to enhancing last mile connectivity through dedicated lanes for public transport, improved signage and better integration with metro and bus services. Technical teams reviewed preliminary alignments and traffic impact assessments prepared by GMDA.
Officials discussed coordination on land acquisition, utility relocation and environmental clearances required to take projects to the detailed design stage. Funding and implementation models were considered, with possibilities for joint financing between central, state and agency sources and for phasing work to limit disruption. The airport operator indicated support for measures that would reduce passenger transfer times and improve cargo access.
As a next step the two agencies agreed to set up a joint technical committee to finalise alignments, cost estimates and a schedule for surveys and detailed project reports. Officials said the committee will coordinate with municipal authorities to align interventions with broader urban transport plans and to prioritise sections with highest congestion. The collaboration is part of a wider effort to strengthen regional connectivity in the National Capital Region and to support projected growth in passenger and freight movements.
