The drive between Vasant Kunj & IGI Airport will be about 30 minutes shorter from next Thursday with the opening of the underpass on NH 8 connecting mahipalpur bypass with Aerocity. The 135-metre underpass with dual carriageway will help traffic bypass the gridlock at Mahipalpur village and cut down on the long detour to enter the airport premises.
