PWD to revamp key NW Delhi stretch of Ring Road

Hindustan Times  

New Delhi Traffic problems at Punjabi Bagh were exacerbated over the past year due to roadworks. The Public Works Department will take up a revamp of a four-kilometre-long key section of the Ring Road connecting west and northwest Delhi, the stretch from Punjabi Bagh roundabout to Prembari Pul near Shalimar Bagh, officials aware of the development said. Highlighting that the Punjabi Bagh flyover is soon expected to opened for traffic movement shortly, the official said: “Bids for recarpeting of the west Delhi Ring road stretch were invited last week and the process is likely to be completed by January 6. Traffic chaos on cards While officials said they will ensure minimal traffic disruption, commuters were sceptical as similar assurances for repairs of an Outer Ring Road section near Chirag Delhi last month fell flat. I hope the road repair is taken up with better planning.” Abhishek Srivastava, a resident of Basai Darapur, said: “There are no traffic police deployed along the Ring Road despite jams every evening.
