Key Questions Answered
The Old RTR Flyover has been closed because a section of the road surface in the middle of the flyover wore out and requires urgent repair and maintenance work by the PWD.
Officials expect the main repair work to finish by the following morning, with all work wrapping up by Sunday evening so that vehicle movement can potentially resume from Monday morning, pending a final inspection.
The Delhi Traffic Police has diverted traffic onto adjoining service roads and advised commuters to take alternative routes, plan their journeys in advance, and check Google Maps, which has been updated to reflect the closure.
