Anand Vihar, one of the busiest sections of Delhi, is facing severe traffic congestion and pollution. To address this, authorities are considering a multimodal integration plan that includes the construction of an underpass below the railway station to connect Karkardooma with the transport hub. This plan also features new pedestrian bridges equipped with travellators to facilitate smoother pedestrian movement between the railway station, inter-state bus station (ISBT), metro station, and the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) station. Currently, there is no direct arterial road linking Karkardooma to Anand Vihar, forcing passengers to navigate long distances. The proposed underpass aims to resolve vehicular congestion while an extended foot overbridge (FOB) will improve pedestrian access. With increasing foot traffic due to multiple transport modes converging in the area, the integration plan is deemed crucial for enhancing commuter convenience and safety.
