Homeward bound in a heavy downpour on July 20, 2013, on the 2.2 kilometers long Palam flyover leading to the sub city Dwarka, New Delhi. The Dwarka flyover over Palam village in Delhi is a vital link in getting in and out of Dwarka. This flyover and its approach road totalling around 4.5 kms long was built to cross the congested Palam village and the railway tracks. 

This flyover and the roadway leading to it was completed around 2007, and it reduced commuting time from around 40 minutes (mainly due to the railway level crossing) to around 6 minutes. Nowadays, there is heavy traffic jam on this road during the peak travel hours in the morning and evening, especially when a heavy vehicle breaks down or a mishap occurs by reckless driving on the dual carriageway elevated road; and commuters suffer a start-and-crawl drive lasting over 20 minutes to cross the flyover.
