Abstract : Multilevel traffic interchanges and major flyovers are an integral part of a city’s growth. The challenge that exist toady is how to retain the essential cultural and social characteristics of the urban environment and still give the city an efficient transportation network. Delhi is a city with a large population and is also blessed with a large number of heritage buildings and historic monuments. The physical and visual preservation of these buildings and monuments present a huge challenge in the design and construction of transportation structures in the city. The city also has a large number of water bodies and streams, apart from a large river. The paper illustrates some infrastructure projects like bridges, flyovers underpasses and major interchanges built recently in Delhi where a conscious effort was made to keep sustainability issues in view during the planning and design stages
