Sarai Kale Khan area in Delhi is already choking by 5:30 pm daily; the opening of the Delhi‑Mumbai Expressway could worsen congestion, traffic police say.
Sarai Kale Khan, a key junction in Delhi’s northern corridor, is already choking by 5:30 pm every weekday, according to traffic police reports.
Officials warn that the forthcoming opening of the Delhi‑Mumbai Expressway could exacerbate the congestion, as the high‑capacity route is expected to funnel more vehicles into the already busy area.
To curb the gridlock, the traffic police have suggested widening the existing roads and tightening bus protocols, including dedicated bus lanes and stricter scheduling.
The junction’s intricate merging points add to the danger, prompting authorities to call for clearer signage and better traffic management.
Commuters and transport operators are keeping a close eye on the situation as the expressway’s launch approaches.
