Several major roads linking Delhi and Noida will be under diversion on Janmashtami, prompting commuters to use alternative routes.
The municipal authorities have announced that a number of arterial roads connecting Delhi and Noida will be subject to traffic diversions today, coinciding with the Janmashtami celebrations. Drivers are advised to avoid the affected stretches and follow the posted detour signs to minimise delays.
Key routes such as the Delhi‑Noida Direct Flyway, the DND Flyway and the main stretch of the Delhi‑Gurgaon Expressway are expected to experience intermittent closures for ceremonial processions and crowd management. The diversions are scheduled to remain in force for the duration of the festival, which concludes this evening.
Commuters are urged to check real‑time traffic updates on navigation apps and plan their journeys accordingly. Public transport services, including Delhi Metro and DTC buses, are operating on their regular timetables, but additional crowding is anticipated at stations near the diversion zones.
The traffic police have deployed additional personnel at critical junctions to guide motorists and ensure safety. Violators of the diversion orders may face fines as per the city’s traffic regulations.
Overall, the authorities emphasize that the temporary measures aim to facilitate smooth movement of devotees while maintaining road safety across the Delhi‑Noida corridor.
