# Shahdara flyover repairs to continue till Aug 31, traffic to slow 2026-08-21T21:05:45+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Delhi Traffic Police has warned that renovation and repair work on the Shahdara flyover towards Apsara Border will continue until August 31, causing slower traffic for commuters. The flyover is a key corridor linking east Delhi to Ghaziabad, carrying heavy vehicle movement during morning and evening peak hours. In an advisory, police advised commuters to plan journeys in advance and allow extra travel time. Adequate personnel have been deployed at the location to regulate traffic and assist commuters during the repair period. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The Shahdara flyover carries tens of thousands of vehicles daily between east Delhi and Ghaziabad. A prolonged closure or partial restriction here forces traffic onto already congested roads such as NH-9 and the UP border checkpoints. Delhi's Public Works Department typically handles such repairs, any delay beyond August 31 could disrupt school reopening and office travel in September.
