Commuters in West Delhi are facing traffic delays today on the carriageway from Raja Garden towards Naraina. A heavy-duty Hydra crane broke down between Mayapuri and Naraina Flyover on February 9, 2026. This incident has blocked a portion of the road, causing traffic to move slowly. The Delhi Traffic Police has issued an advisory for everyone travelling towards Delhi Cantt and Dhaula Kuan to avoid this stretch.
Which alternative route should drivers take?
The traffic authorities have advised commuters to avoid the Raja Garden and Mayapuri flyover route completely to prevent getting stuck in the jam. A specific diversion has been set up for those coming from Punjabi Bagh Flyover. Drivers are instructed to take a left turn at the Bharat Darshan Park junction.
- Turn left from Bharat Darshan Park.
- Proceed towards Karampura Flyover.
- Drive through Shadipur and Patel Nagar.
- Take Vandematram Marg to reach Dhaula Kuan.
What is the current traffic situation?
Traffic personnel are deployed at the Bharat Darshan Park junction to guide vehicles towards the new route. The breakdown of the crane occurred during busy hours, adding to the congestion. The traffic volume on Delhi roads is already higher than usual due to the ongoing Plast India exhibition and the peak wedding season. The Public Works Department is responsible for removing the crane to restore normal flow.
