Chirag Delhi flyover closure: South Delhi commuters brace for traffic woes again

IT professional Prerna Singh breathed a sigh of relief when the Ashram flyover reopened last week after being shut for close to 100 days. Residing in Vasant Kunj and travelling to Noida every day, the 24-year-old was among thousands of south Delhi residents who had to overcome traffic snarls to reach her workplace during this period.

Now, she is bracing to contend with another months-long round of snarls.

Traffic will be affected on certain routes in south Delhi for repair work on one of the carriageways of the Chirag Delhi flyover on Outer Ring Road. The flyover will remain closed for 25 days from Sunday for the first round of repair works, officials said.
