The advisory said that the sideways of both the main carriageways will remain functional during this period. 

Traffic Restrictions/Diversions 

According to the advisory, the roads/stretches connecting the Ashram flyover and the outer ring road will be one of those routes impacted due to the diversion. DND flyover and both the side carriageways passing through Ashram Chowk will also be restricted/diverted as per the Police advisory. 

Instructions To Public 

Delhi traffic police has advised the general public to make optimum use of public transport to avoid any traffic congestion during the period. People have also been asked to park their vehicles at designated places only to avoid any problems. 

Asking people to stay alert, the notice said that any unidentified/unusual object or person must be reported to the police immediately. It also asked people to plan and reach railway stations or airports well in time to avoid any unpleasant experience.

Instructions To PWD/Construction Agency 

The Public Work Department (PWD) has been instructed to install traffic signals at Taimur Nagar T-Point and nearby bus stand for safe passage of traffic. It added that there should be a carriageway for the commuters coming from CV Raman Marg towards Sarai Kale Khan. 

The construction agency has been asked to reconstruct the footpaths on both the carriageways on this stretch and CV Raman Marg for smooth pedestrian movements. 

The closing will result in a traffic rush near Barapullah and ITO among others.
