Night traffic at Ashram Chowk to be affected due to repair work

New Delhi, Oct 6 The Delhi traffic police has cautioned commuters to avoid Ashram Chowk towards Bhogal on Mathura Road during night hours between 10 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. from Tuesday to Thursday.

"Construction of underpass is going on at Ashram Chowk. Due to leakage of water on Mathura Road, a portion of the road is slowly sinking causing uneven potholes which hinder the smooth flow of traffic. This problem is endemic on Mathura Road between Ashram Chowk and Bhogal flyover," a senior traffic police officer said.

According to Delhi traffic police, in order to prevent further deterioration of the road, Delhi Jal Board will be carrying out emergency repairs from Tuesday to Thursday.

"Due to ongoing work of Delhi Jal Board, from 10.00 p.m. to 6.30 a.m. traffic will not be allowed from Ashram Chowk towards Bhogal on Mathura Road. Besides, commercial vehicles and buses would be diverted from CRRI onto Modi Mill flyover. They will take a u-turn from below Kalkaji flyover, take Capt Gaur Marg, Ring Road to cross Ashram flyover," the officer added.
