In a recent update, Delhi Traffic Police has announced a major traffic disruption on NH-48 due to the closure of a service road for essential repairs. This closure will affect the entire stretch between the Dwarka Link Road junction and the Mahipalpur Petrol Pump. The situation is likely to remain the same for the next two months.
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has initiated this repair work to address urgent concerns over potential soil collapse. The service road closure will impact traffic flow between Gurugram and Mahipalpur, influencing prime regions such as Vasant Kunj, IGI Airport, and Dhaula Kuan.
To mitigate congestion, commuters are advised to consider the following alternate routes:

Delhi-Gurugram traffic woes
Commuting between Delhi and Gurugram is a daily challenging situation. The traffic can often be challenging due to high commuter volumes and regular ongoing roadworks. Prime routes such as NH-48, which connects these cities, frequently experience extreme traffic, particularly during peak office hours.
Recent closures for repairs, such as those on the NH-48 service road, further add to the delays, impacting areas like Vasant Kunj, IGI Airport, and Dhaula Kuan.
To help traffic woes, commuters are advised to use alternate routes like Mehrauli-Gurugram Road or Dwarka Expressway. Additionally, using the Metro services can provide a more reliable and efficient travel option for reaching destinations like IGI Airport and New Delhi Railway Station.
