Light vehicles coming from Gurugram, Chirag Delhi, Kalkaji, Khanpur, Greater Kailash, Saket, AIIMS, INA, Sadarjung, and Dhaula Kuan sides and going towards Sarai Kale Khan, Gaziabad, DND, Noida, and Trans-Yamuna areas have been asked to avoid Barapulla and use the Ashram Flyover instead.
The Delhi Police further said that heavy vehicles including trucks and buses are still not allowed to use the Ashram flyover, despite it being open to the public. Further, commuters coming from Sarai Kale Khan are also advised not to use the Ashram flyover.
The extension work on the Ashram flyover is finally complete, and it is aimed at making the commute smoother between Delhi and Noida. The construction work for the flyover commences in 2020, and was set to be completed before 2023, but was delayed several times.
The Ashram flyover is a major connecting point in Delhi NCR, and its closure resulted in hour-long traffic jams in Delhi’s Barapulla flyover for the last few months.
