Since that time, the officials said, the cost of building the flyover has escalated by 19% to Rs 330 crore. The average pace of flyover construction in Delhi is 4-5% per month, according to experts. The flyover work is progressing well as 100% of piling, piers and pile caps has completed and superstructure work being fast-tracked,” said an HCC spokesperson. “We can increase the work speed three times if we close the traffic on the stretch completely but we cannot do that.
