The newly opened Barapullah‑III flyover in Delhi has quickly become clogged, leaving commuters stranded for several hours.
Delhi’s Barapullah‑III flyover was opened to the public earlier today. Within minutes of the inauguration, traffic began to back up along the approach roads, creating long queues that stretched for kilometres. Motorists reported being stuck for several hours as the new infrastructure struggled to absorb the volume of vehicles.
The congestion affected both private cars and public transport, with commuters describing the situation as chaotic. Traffic police were deployed to manage the flow, but the sheer number of vehicles made it difficult to clear the jam quickly.
Authorities have indicated that the flyover will ease traffic once traffic patterns stabilise, but for now the opening has resulted in a significant delay for daily commuters across the capital.
