Temporary Closure of Delhi's RTR Flyover Ramp Causes Traffic Disruptions
The Old Rao Tula Ram (RTR) flyover ramp towards Vasant Vihar in south Delhi was temporarily closed due to cracks and concrete deterioration detected in two locations. The closure disrupted traffic between Gurugram, Indira Gandhi International Airport, and south Delhi, causing nearly a kilometre-long snarls on the adjacent service road. Repair work began promptly and is expected to finish by October 26, with the ramp remaining closed for curing before reopening. Authorities advised commuters to use alternative routes and follow traffic personnel instructions.
