Traffic to be diverted near Patparganj underpass

NEW DELHI: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will be undertaking the work of reconstruction and rehabilitation of the underpass of Patparganj Road, located near Mother Dairy under National Highway-24.

In the first phase, the bridge on carriageway from Nizamuddin Bridge to Gazipur near Mother Dairy will be dismantled.

In the second phase, a new bridge will be reconstructed at the same location. For this work, traffic would be diverted from Saturday.

For this purpose, the traffic on the carriageway from Nizamuddin via Noida Mor will be partially put on the opposite carriageway (two lanes) and partially on the slip road (three lanes) towards Mother Dairy, before it eventually merges again with the main carriageway after a distance of about 250 meters.

Simultaneously, the traffic coming from Gazipur to Nizamuddin Bridge will be partially diverted on the main carriageway (two lanes) and partially on the slip road (four lanes) towards Sanjay Lake before it merges again with the main carriageway after a distance of about 250 meters.

There will be congestion on the adjoining roads due to this construction work on NH-24.

To avoid congestion and delay, road users and motorists destined towards Gazipur side from Uttar Pradesh are advised by Delhi Traffic Police to take Ring Road, Vikas Marg, New Patparganj Road, Narwana Road, Karkari Mode, Road No. 57, Road No. 56 while commuting from Sarai Kale Khan to I.P.Extension, MayurVihar Phase-2, Gazipur side and vice-versa using underpasses on NH-24 near Mayur Vihar, Phase-2 and IP Extension.
