New Delhi, Traffic snarls persisted on the newly opened Barapullah Phase-III corridor here on Monday, with motorists reporting long delays on the Mayur Vihar-AIIMS stretch.
The existing Barapullah flyover has three lanes. Traffic from these approaches therefore converges into three lanes on the old flyover, creating a bottleneck, the police said.
The Delhi Traffic Police in its post on X said the main bottleneck was on the old Barapullah flyover, where traffic from around eight to nine lanes is merging into three lanes at a single point. The traffic police said the new Phase-III flyover on the Mayur Vihar side has around three lanes, while the loops towards Sarai Kale Khan and DND also have three lanes each. “Traffic personnel have been deployed at the merging points to regulate vehicle movement,” Delhi Traffic police posted on X. The police also said Google Maps is not reflecting the actual traffic situation and continued to show the stretch as having smooth traffic.
