Delhi Traffic alert: Attention, please! Delhiites, the Delhi traffic advisory has released an important update. As per a tweet from the Delhi traffic police, traffic movement on MB Road (Mehrauli-Badarpur Road) is likely to remain slow and congested from August 15 to September 14, 2026, due to ongoing DMRC construction work for the Delhi Metro Phase-IV Corridor.
According to a detailed traffic advisory issued by the Delhi Traffic Police, DMRC is executing the construction work of Delhi Metro Ph-IV Corridor (Tughlakabad to Aerocity). Presently the construction work on MB Road (Mehrauli-Badarpur) is ongoing and now DMRC has taken up the construction work of Portal Beam between Pillar No. 40 to 37 in front of Sainik Farm Gate No. 2 to Asian Mkt. For this purpose DMRC has closed the one carriageway of MB Road (From Khanpur to Saket Metro) and traffic on both directions will ply in a single carriageway so commuters will have less road space due to reduced width and may face heavy traffic on MB Road especially during peak hours in morning and evening.
The traffic restrictions are expected to remain in force for approximately one month, from August 15 to September 14, 2026.
