New Delhi, February 26 Traffic near the New Delhi Railway Station and parts of central Delhi will be affected for the next two weeks due to sewer line restoration work and a station redevelopment project, an official said on Thursday.
According to a traffic advisory issued by the Delhi Traffic Police, the Delhi Jal Board will be carrying out digging on Chelmsford Road to restore a sewer line from February 26 to March 5.
Traffic on areas along the road, such as Munjia Chowk and connecting roads towards the Paharganj side, is likely to be impacted, particularly during peak hours, due to the presence of heavy machinery and excavation, the advisory stated.
In a separate advisory, the police said that the Turkman Gate-Delhi Gate side of the Asaf Ali Road will be closed to traffic from February 26 until March 12 due to construction related to the redevelopment of the New Delhi Railway Station.
