The cloverleaf intersection — multiple flyovers with slip roads that help the interchange of traffic between major road networks without any disruption — will be built along the lines of the one in Dhaula Kuan, Delhi, to help commuters avoid the heavily congested Kherki Daula toll plaza.
It will link Dwarka Expressway with Southern Peripheral Road (SPR), which starts at Ghata T-point, the point where the Golf Course Road ends, passing through Vatika Chowk and ending just before the Kherki Daula toll plaza on NH 48. On the other end, SPR will connect with Dwarka Expressway via the Central Peripheral Road.
