These restrictions, effective from March 6 through March 31, 2026, are necessitated by critical construction phases of the Metro-12 corridor.

Massive Gantry Operations Prompt Full Roadway Shutdowns

To facilitate the installation of massive cement girders using heavy gantry machinery, authorities have mandated total road closures at specific segments between 11:55 PM and 5:00 AM. The work is being executed in four distinct phases:

Phase I (March 6–10): Diversions at Sonarpada (Pillar 180) via the DNS Chowk service road.

Phase II (March 11–18): Traffic halts at Vikramnagar (Pillar 105) with shifts to the service lane.

Phase III (March 19–25): Restrictions at Manpada Chowk (Pillar 200) with alternate route enforcement.
