Delhi-Gurugram traffic to be hit on NH-48 for two months

The Delhi Traffic Police has issued an advisory announcing the closure of a service road on NH-48, stretching from the merging point at Dwarka Link Road to the Mahipalpur Petrol Pump.

The closure was prompted owing to urgent repair work by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).

It will be in effect for the next two months to address concerns over potential soil collapse, the advisory stated. 

The closure is expected to significantly impact traffic flow from Gurugram to Mahipalpur, affecting key areas like Vasant Kunj, IGI Airport, and Dhaula Kuan.

Commuters have been advised to use alternative routes such as the Mehrauli-Gurugram Road and Dwarka crossings to ease congestion.

The advisory also urged commuters to take the Metro at Dwarka Sector-21 station of the Airport Express line to reach IGI Airport, New Delhi Railway Station from Gurugram in a convenient way.
