Delhi Metro Details Phase-4 Safety Push: 20 km Barricades, 17 km Lights, 270 Marshals

The agency outlines winter visibility upgrades with contractor rules to keep traffic moving near Phase-4 works.

Overview

  • Nearly 20 km of Phase-4 construction zones are enclosed with bottom-heavy, anchored barricades fitted with LED rope lights and blinkers across about 17 km.
  • More than 270 trained traffic marshals work round the clock to manage vehicular flow and assist nighttime crane and heavy equipment movements.
  • Impact Protection Vehicles are in use during heavy machinery placement, with traffic diversions planned in coordination with Delhi Traffic Police.
  • Diversion points employ a three-layer system using plastic barriers, sand or water-filled drums, and concrete crash barriers made from recycled construction waste.
  • DMRC has embedded detailed traffic-management norms in tender documents based on Indian Road Congress guidance, and officials report largely incident-free movement near sites.
