Soon, better ride to Delhi airport

New Delhi: Steel sheets welcome you as you drive towards the domestic airport from the Dwarka roundabout. Ever so slowly, for a part of the road is blocked by the construction workers. But a peep behind the sheets, and city motorists have reasons to cheer up: work is on to widen the road.
The work is part of the revised traffic circulation plan for the new airport terminal building, which is expected to come up by the middle of this year. But the wait won’t be that long for motorists — both roads leading to and from the domestic terminal is being widened, and is expected to get over sooner.
“We would expect it to finish in another four or six weeks,” says Arun Arora, associate vice-president (Corporate Communications), of the Delhi International Airport Limited. DIAL, the joint-venture company, has “speeded up” the road widening in view of the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway, he says.
Once over, the project is expected to spell freedom from serpentine queues that greets drivers to the airport every evening.
