Traffic affected by the closure of Railway Gate No. 572 will be diverted towards Golibar Chowk.
The road connecting the stretch between Railway Gate Nos. 570 and 572 towards the old Railway Overbridge (ROB) has also been designated as an alternative route.
RUB Construction Expected to Ease Traffic Congestion
RUB Construction Expected to Ease Traffic CongestionThe construction of Railway Under Bridges is expected to provide long-term relief to residents and commuters in Panchpaoli.
Currently, motorists frequently face delays while waiting for trains to pass, resulting in long queues of vehicles near the railway crossings. Once the RUBs are completed, commuters will be able to cross the railway tracks without waiting for railway gates to reopen.
The project is expected to reduce travel delays and improve traffic movement in the area.
Until construction is completed, commuters have been advised to use the designated diversion routes and follow traffic instructions around the construction sites.
The closure of both railway crossings came into effect at 10 am on November 10, 2026.
