Old Rao Tula Ram Flyover Closure Causes Traffic Congestion in Delhi-Gurugram Area
The Old Rao Tula Ram (RTR) flyover near Delhi Airport was closed after cracks were found at two locations, prompting repair work expected to finish by October 26. The closure has diverted traffic onto adjoining service roads and alternative routes, causing significant congestion and delays on National Highway-48 and surrounding areas in Gurugram and Delhi. Authorities have issued advisories, updated navigation apps, and deployed personnel to manage traffic, but bottlenecks persist on several key stretches until the flyover reopens.
