New Delhi: Repair work on the old Rao Tula Ram (RTR) flyover caused major traffic congestion Wednesday, with delays spilling over to NH-48 and adjoining roads, affecting commuters travelling from Gurgaon towards Delhi and the airport.Delhi Traffic Police said the carriageway from IGI Airport towards Vasant Vihar was temporarily closed after cracks and peeling were detected at two locations on the flyover surface. Traffic personnel spotted the damage during a patrol and alerted the Public Works Department, which began precautionary repairs.Traffic towards Vasant Vihar was diverted to the service road and via Dhaula Kuan, resulting in long queues and slow movement. Commuters reported journey times of up to 70-80 minutes between Gurgaon and Dhaula Kuan. The situation was compounded by a road-cleaning vehicle operating during peak traffic hours.
