New Delhi: Traffic movement around the Modi Mill flyover in South Delhi has been continuously affected. The closure of the route due to construction work on the Kalkaji flyover and barricading on the road have increased vehicular pressure. As a result, commuters heading towards Modi Mill, Kalkaji and Nehru Place are facing long traffic jams.
Construction work is being carried out under the project to extend the Modi Mill flyover on Outer Ring Road up to Kalkaji. For this, work had begun to remove the ramp portion of the Kalkaji flyover and build new pillars. Barricading in the construction area has reduced the available width of the road, slowing vehicle movement. The congestion becomes particularly severe during the busy morning and evening hours.
Motorists travelling from Modi Mill to Nehru Place are having to use the service lane and pass through the traffic signal at Maa Anandmayi Marg. Vehicles heading towards Okhla Phase-3 are moving ahead after taking a U-turn from Govindpuri Metro Station. Increased vehicle pressure on alternative routes is also affecting commuters’ travel.
Traffic police have directed the department concerned to deploy additional traffic marshals and police personnel at the construction site. Traffic on this corridor is expected to become smoother once the construction work is completed, but for now motorists are being advised to set out with extra time in hand.
