Road Closed: The repair work on Sarita Vihar Flyover in the capital Delhi will start from June 15. This repair work, which will last for 60 days, will be done in four phases. In each phase, only half of the flyover will be closed for 15-15 days. The traffic police has issued an NOC to the PWD for this with some conditions.
According to the traffic police, lakhs of vehicles travel between Delhi and Faridabad via Mathura Road every day. During peak hours, the pressure of vehicles is very high here. In such a situation, the repair work of Sarita Vihar flyover will be started by PWD from June 15. Earlier this work was to start from May 1, but it was postponed due to the Lok Sabha elections. Now the traffic police has given approval for this work from June 15.
The traffic police made it clear that the repair work will be done in four phases. Due to this, the entire flyover will not be closed at one time. Only half the lane of the flyover will be closed in one direction, while vehicles will continue to run on the other half. Sources said that in the first phase, repair work will be done in the direction from Ashram to Faridabad, in the second phase, the remaining half of the flyover in this direction will be repaired. In the third and fourth phases, repair work will be done in the direction from Faridabad to Ashram.

Officials believe that people going to and coming from Sarita Vihar, Badarpur, New Friends Colony, Kalindi Kunj, Okhla, Faridabad etc. may face problems. The traffic police has advised the drivers to avoid going in this direction for a few days.
