Delhi commonwealth Infrastructure
New Delhi already has many elements of modern infrastructure in place such as mass transportation, pollution checks, and new highways. However, to prepare the city for the influx of people that will occur during the 2010 games, the Indian government is pouring an estimated $17.5 billion into the city for it to be ready in time for the 2010 games. This money will be used to give the entire city a facelift, including the construction of new roads, an increase in public transport, the construction of new power plants, water utility services, the Games Village, city beautification, better connectivity, traffic management, parking, security and health services.etc.
Delhi has also proposed a four-lane, 2.2 km underground stretch from Ring Road to Lodhi, linking the Games Village to the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium and reducing traveling time for athletes traveling between the Village and the Stadium by six minutes. In response to concerns over the large number of trains that pass by the Delhi metropolitan region daily, construction of road under-bridges and over-bridges along railway lines has been started.[4]
To expand road infrastructure, flyovers, cloverleaf flyovers, and bridges have been planned to provide connectivity to the Games Village, to sports venues, to hospitals, and for intra-city connectivity. Road-widening projects have been under process, with an emphasis being placed on expanding national highways. To improve traffic flow on existing road, plans are underway to make both the inner and outer Ring roads signal free.[5]
