North Delhi Traffic To Remain Disrupted Till March 25 — Check Key Roads To Avoid and Diversions

Delhi is set to see restricted traffic movement on several roads in the Civil Lines area of north Delhi from March 10 (Tuesday) to March 25 due to sewer line laying work, the Delhi Traffic Police said. According to a traffic advisory, a 300-mm diameter sewer line is being laid by the Delhi Jal Board from 31 Rajpur Road to 19 Rajpur Road on the carriageway between Civil Lines police station and MCD Chowk.

Which Roads Will Be Closed?

Due to the work, the carriageway on Rajpur Road from Rajpur Authority cut to MCD Chowk will remain closed for all vehicles during the period, the advisory said.

Traffic coming from Civil Lines police station, red light, and Rajpur Authority cut towards MCD Chowk and Tis Hazari will be diverted. However, from MCD Chowk towards Civil Lines police station, one carriageway will remain operational.

The restrictions are likely to affect traffic on Rajpur Road, Mall Road, Mahatma Gandhi Marg, Chauburja Marg, Bhiku Ram Jain Marg, Shamnath Marg and Lok Niwas Marg, police said.

Diversions To Follow

According to the advisory, commuters travelling towards Tis Hazari will be diverted from the Civil Lines red light and the Rajpur Authority cut.

Traffic police have suggested alternate routes, including Civil Lines police station red light–Upper Authority cut–Under Hill Road–Shamnath Marg–Raj Niwas Road–MCD Chowk and another route via Boulevard Road and Yudhister Setu.

Commuters have been advised to avoid the affected stretches and use alternate routes to minimise inconvenience.

Delhi Traffic Affected Tomorrow

The traffic across Delhi will be affected tomorrow (Wednesday) due to an official function at Lok Niwas, and special traffic arrangements will be made by the authorities.

Traffic movement may remain affected on ITO Chowk, Ring Road, Mall Road, Rajpur Road, Mahatma Gandhi Marg, Shamnath Marg, Boulevard Road and adjoining roads due to the movement of dignitaries.

“Commuters are advised to plan their travel in advance, use alternate routes and avoid roadside parking to ensure smooth traffic flow,” the advisory read.
