The construction of the much-awaited and delayed underpass leading to the New Friends Colony and the extension of the existing flyover to meet the Delhi-Noida Direct Flyway (DND) have turned the Ashram area into a jumble of diversions, barricades, potholes and bumps. Officials working on the project said that the potholes and bumps will soon be repaired.
The 750-metre long underpass on Mathura Road, along Ashram Chowk, is aimed at easing traffic at the Ashram intersection. Last month, Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Satyendar Jain said that work on the underpass was delayed due to the shifting of power cables and will be completed in two months, taking cognisance of the difficulties.
