South Delhi commuters are facing a tough time because of the partial closure of the Chirag Delhi flyover for repairs. The flyover will remain partially shut for 50 days, as per authorities.

“During this period, re-carpeting and repairs to strengthen the expansion joints will occur. Traffic will be slow but commuters need not worry as one carriageway will be closed first and the other will be open for traffic,” said a PWD official.

Repairs of the carriageway from Nehru Place to the IIT Delhi flyover have started. Work on the carriageway from IIT Delhi Flyover to Nehru Place will be taken up later.

The traffic police have also suggested alternative routes.
