Minto Bridge in Delhi Closed for Repairs

Minto Bridge in New Delhi will be closed for urgent pothole repairs from 10 PM on August 30 until 7 AM on September 2, significantly impacting traffic flow between Old and New Delhi. Both carriageways will be blocked, necessitating diversions that include Outer Circle, Barakhamba Road, and Ranjeet Singh Flyover for commuters. The closure comes after heavy rainfall has caused persistent waterlogging and significant pothole formation, exacerbating traffic issues. The Delhi Traffic Police has issued advisories urging motorists to plan their journeys accordingly and to follow designated alternate routes to minimize disruptions. This repair work is essential for ensuring safer travel conditions as the bridge is a critical connection to New Delhi Railway Station and Connaught Place. The ongoing flooding issues highlight the city's struggle with infrastructure maintenance during the monsoon season.
