Relief for commuters as Old Railway Bridge reopens

Vehicular movement has resumed on the Old Railway Bridge after the water level of the Yamuna receded below the danger mark in Delhi, bringing relief to commuters.

The bridge had been closed for traffic and public movement from 4 pm on September 2 after the river crossed the danger level, forcing traffic diversions through alternative routes, a senior police officer said.

Its reopening on Monday night has eased connectivity between the northeast and the northern parts of the national capital and has also improved traffic flow in parts of central Delhi, the officer added.
