In this direction, PWD has completed the maintenance work of the Chirag Delhi flyover ahead of schedule. Now that the work on both carriageways has been completed, the flyover will be open for traffic from tomorrow." The PWD Minister said that "Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal himself kept a close watch on the maintenance work of the Chirag Delhi flyover and was monitoring it regularly. Under his direction, the work was carried out at twice the speed, and as a result, the flyover will be open for the public from tomorrow." Atishi said, "Due to frequent rain in the past month, the flyover maintenance work had to be halted several times, causing delays in the timeline. However, PWD showed its commitment by working round the clock and completing the work ahead of schedule. We are proud that PWD has taken another step forward to make Delhi traffic jam-free."
