Outer Ring Road, New Delhi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the Outer Ring Road of New Delhi. For the Inner Ring Road, see Ring Road, New Delhi.

Delhi features two ring roads, a main one and an outer one. The two ring roads have a combined length of 87km.

Delhi's Outer Ring Road is a road that circles the city with three lanes in each direction, with a total length of 47km. Although it used to have traffic lights and ag-grade intersections, mushrooming interchanges have reduced the number of lights to just two, and traffic now flows much more smoothly. Plans are underway to build an elevated ring road next to this one.
