Delhi Traffic Police, PWD Construct U-Turns To Reduce Traffic Jams On Vikas Marg

Efforts to reduce traffic congestion on Vikas Marg have seen progress, as the Public Works Department (PWD) has constructed two new U-turns in Laxmi Nagar on the recommendation of the Delhi Traffic Police.

Before these changes, drivers heading towards Laxmi Nagar Market from Shakarpur had to take a detour of nearly 1,200 metres, causing delays and fuel wastage. Traders had raised concerns about the inconvenience, prompting the authorities to act.

The newly constructed U-turns, one near Laxmi Nagar Metro Station and another near Laxmi Nagar Chungi, now allow vehicles travelling from Mother Dairy towards Laxmi Nagar to avoid the 800-metre detour. Traffic signals at Preet Vihar, Nirman Vihar, and Laxmi Nagar Market were closed last March, and four U-turns were earlier constructed to ease congestion.

Special Commissioner of Traffic Police, K Jagadeesan, stated that police presence has been increased at crowded intersections, including Khajuri Chowk, and barricades near Anand Vihar bus terminal have been removed. He emphasised that strategic interventions like these U-turns have helped reduce traffic jams on heavily congested roads.
