Commuters in South Delhi should prepare for potential traffic disruptions as the Delhi Traffic Police has announced a traffic advisory due to ongoing construction activities. The work involves the construction of an approach road and side drain extending from H-Block, Shiv Mandir to the Karni Singh Shooting Range in Sangam Vihar. The project is being overseen by the Irrigation & Flood Control Department and is expected to affect traffic flow on significant routes in the vicinity.

Dates and Duration of Road Closures

Road restrictions are set to be effective from March 14, 2026. A complete closure is scheduled from March 25 to April 3, 2026, with disruptions anticipated throughout the day, depending on construction activities. The timing of the work may lead to increased congestion, particularly during high-traffic periods.

Affected Roads and Traffic Movement

Key routes that will experience altered traffic patterns include MB Road towards Faridabad, the access road to the Karni Singh Shooting Range, and Pul Prahladpur Road heading towards Faridabad. As these roads serve as vital connections for everyday commuters, significant delays are likely, especially during peak hours.

Details of Complete Road Closure

The access road to the Karni Singh Shooting Range will be entirely closed for vehicular movement from March 25 to April 3, 2026. No vehicles will be allowed on this route during the closure period, necessitating alternative arrangements for drivers and pedestrians.

Traffic Diversions and Alternate Routes

To alleviate congestion, specific diversions are being implemented. Drivers can expect detours at the red light near Karni Singh Shooting Range on MB Road and close to the main entrance of the shooting range. Commuters are encouraged to heed on-site signage and follow the directions provided by traffic personnel present in the area.

Recommendations for Commuters

Motorists are advised to consider alternate routes to avoid delays. A suggested detour includes using Pul Prahladpur Road toward the Suraj Kund area. Additional adjoining routes may also provide relief from the affected sections. It is advisable for individuals to plan their journeys in advance, particularly during peak travel periods, and to avoid the designated construction routes when possible.

Public Advisory and Staying Informed

Authorities urge commuters to maintain patience and cooperate with traffic management efforts to facilitate smoother vehicle flow. For those seeking real-time updates on traffic conditions, the Delhi Traffic Police will provide information through official channels, including helpline numbers and digital platforms. As infrastructure projects proceed, awareness and preparation will be crucial in minimizing inconvenience associated with these significant road closures.
