Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry officials said on September 5, 2022 that Rajpath is likely to be renamed as a duty road before its inauguration on September 8 after 20 months of redevelopment.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set to inaugurate the redeveloped Central Vista Avenue, which has been closed to the public since January 2021, on September 8, 2022, officials said.
Some parts will be opened after the inauguration ceremony on the evening of September 8, 2022, while the entire stretch from India Gate to Rashtrapati Bhavan is likely to open to the public on September 9, 2022, officials said.
According to sources familiar with the development, the 2-km stretch known as Kingsway before independence will be renamed as Kartavya (Vidhi) road by the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC). NDMC sources said the council meeting has not been scheduled yet, but is likely to be held on September 7.
