Vehicles moving from Delhi to Gurgaon will face a tough time with the carriageways of NH-48 (Delhi-Jaipur highway) between Rangpuri and Rajokari being closed for 90 days due to construction work.

According to an advisory issued by Delhi Traffic Police, “The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) is constructing the Dwarka Expressway under Bharat Mala project, which will start from Dwarka Link Road near Shiv Murti on NH-48 (Delhi-Jaipur Highway)”. Under this project, two underpasses and one elevated section will be constructed on NH-48. “To execute this work, both carriageways on NH-48 between Rangpuri and Rajokari will be closed,” it added.

The traffic police said that vehicles near Shiv Murti intersection shall be diverted from the main highway to newly constructed slip roads, while the closure of carriageways may increase the volume of traffic on the road and cause inconvenience to the general public. “People who are going towards Airport/ISBT/railway stations are advised to carefully plan their travel with sufficient time at hand,” said the advisory.
