MAINTENANCE WORK TO CONTINUE TILL JUNE
The roadwork, being carried out by National Highways Authority of India, is currently underway on one carriageway. However, work is scheduled on both sides and is expected to continue till June 30, 2026. This may further impact smooth traffic flow in the coming months.
Traffic will remain affected on the Delhi–Meerut Expressway (NEP-03), particularly on routes heading towards Ghaziabad and Meerut, which are key commuter corridors for daily travellers.
ALTERNATE ROUTES SUGGESTED
To ease congestion, commuters are advised to use NH-09 (earlier NH-24) as an alternative route. This diversion is expected to offer comparatively smoother traffic movement during peak hours.
