What plagues Delhi’s RTR flyover
Two years since it opened to the public, the new Rao Tula Ram (RTR) flyover is marred with potholes, a narrow U-turn, and a broken divider that leads to traffic snarls at the mouth of the stretch as well as occasional accidents.
The 2.7-km-long flyover, branching off the Munirka flyover and ending before the Army Hospital Research and Referral near Subroto Park on the Outer Ring Road, was inaugurated in 2019 to make the commute from South Delhi to Indira Gandhi International Airport easier.
According to the traffic police, one-two road accidents on the stretch are reported in a month and 12-15 in a year. Police said around 18 accidents took place on this stretch in 2021, of which four proved to be fatal.
