During the inspection, officials told her that most of the work on the Moti Nagar flyover has been completed, with only the installation of a 50-metre steel girder over the intersection near the Bharat Darshan Park remaining.

“Due to heavy traffic at the intersection, work here is getting delayed. Additionally, most of the work on the Punjabi Bagh flyover is also done, and here, girders are being installed. However, the pace of work has slowed down due to the shifting of a power line,” an official said.

The corridor between the Punjabi Bagh Flyover and Raja Garden Flyover is a part of Ring Road, and it experiences a heavy traffic load because it serves traffic from Haryana using the Rohtak Road (NH-10). Additionally, it connects North Delhi to South Delhi, Gurugram, and other parts of the NCR.
