The service lane of the Delhi-Jaipur highway in Gurugram will remain closed for nearly two months from Tuesday due to stormwater drain construction being carried out by the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA), reported PTI.
The restriction will begin at 6 am on Tuesday and remain in place until October 15, according to the Gurugram traffic police.
The affected stretch is the service road carrying traffic from Delhi towards Jaipur, between the Rampura Chowk flyover and IMT Manesar. The traffic police have advised commuters to use designated alternative routes during the closure.
