Flyovers set for inconvenient repairs over separate phases

The state Public Works Department (PWD) has planned to repair five flyovers across Delhi over the next two months, officials said on Thursday, stressing that the work schedule has been planned to minimise chaos on multiple stretches simultaneously.

Flyovers set for inconvenient repairs over separate phases

The five flyovers scheduled for repairs are at Sarita Vihar, Andrews Ganj and Gokulpuri (all likely to begin in June), and in Tilak Nagar and Punjabi Bagh (may begin in July), the officials said.

The repairs will be carried out in phases, and each project will last for varying spans. For example, the repairs at the Sarita Vihar flyover will take around 50 days, but at Tilak Nagar will take only 15 days, they added.

PWD officials stressed that traffic will be minimised and vehicles will be diverted only if required. To be sure, any disruption or roadwork in Delhi is bound to lead to disruptions - as evidenced by the months-long snarls at Ashram during expansion work, and at Chirag Delhi while the flyover was being repaired.
