Two lanes will be closed daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and commuters are being advised to use an alternate route via Veer Banda Bairagi Marg through Inderlok. Traffic is likely to be heavy and slow during this period.

Authorities have issued a traffic advisory noting that due to the maintenance work traffic is expected to remain heavy and slow in the affected zone. Commuters heading toward Punjabi Bagh or West Delhi via New Rohtak Road are being advised to turn right at Kamal T-Point onto Veer Banda Bairagi Marg and proceed through Inderlok as an alternate route.
This stretch of New Rohtak Road has been subject to periodic maintenance and drainage-improvement efforts before, reflecting longstanding challenges with water-logging and surface condition in the area. The current drain-maintenance effort is part of the attempt to reduce recurring congestion and water accumulation in heavy-rain periods.
Motorists, public transport operators and residents in the surrounding areas are being advised to plan their routes accordingly and allow extra time for travel during the lane-closure hours. The work is likely to cause slower movement and greater delays until it is completed.
