The 59-kilometre-long upcoming Mukundpur to Yamuna Vihar corridor,now proposed to go up to Shiv Vihar,will run along the busy Ring Road,and is expected to decongest the roads.

With four interchange points at Rajouri Garden,Lajpat Nagar,Mayur Vihar and Anand Vihar,the corridor will offer inter-connectivity with four existing corridors Rithala-Dilshad Garden,Badarpur corridor,Noida corridor and Dwarka Sector 21-Vaishali line. Officials said the corridor has been designed to cut travel time for commuters,and offer more interchange options across the city as the same line will connect North,West,South and East Delhi.

Work on the corridor has been put on fast track,with three contracts already awarded and tenders for six others floated. Contracts for design and construction of civil works for a bridge across the Yamuna,a station at Azadpur and boundary wall and earth filling at Vinod Nagar depot.

Tenders have been floated in sections for stations on the entire corridor one package for construction at Shakurpur,Punjabi Bagh,ESI Hospital,Rajouri Garden and Mayapuri,another for Mayur Vihar-I,Mayur Vihar Pkt-I,Trilokpuri ,Vinod Nagar East,Vinod Nagar,I P Extension,Anand Vihar and Karkardooma,and a section between Lajpat Nagar and Hazrat Nizamuddin stations. Tenders have also been floated for an underground station at Naraina Vihar and the depot at Mukundpur.
