Traffic curbs in Civil Lines till March 25 due to sewer line work

Traffic restrictions will remain in place on several roads in North Delhi’s Civil Lines area till March 25 due to sewer line installation work being carried out by the Delhi Jal Board, according to an advisory issued by the Delhi Traffic Police. Officials said the work involves laying a 300 mm diameter sewer line on Rajpur Road between 31 Rajpur Road and 19 Rajpur Road. The project, which will begin on March 10, covers the carriageway stretch from Civil Lines police station to MCD Chowk.

Because of the construction work, traffic movement will be affected on several key roads in the Civil Lines area. Authorities warned that congestion and diversions are likely on Rajpur Road, Mall Road, Mahatma Gandhi Marg, Chauburja Marg, Bhiku Ram Jain Marg, Shamnath Marg, and Lok Niwas Marg.

As part of the traffic management plan, one major stretch of Rajpur Road has been closed to vehicles. Police said the carriageway from Rajpur Authority Cut to MCD Chowk on Rajpur Road will remain completely closed to all vehicles during the period of the construction work.
