The Public Works Department (PWD) in Delhi has begun repair and strengthening work on 12 major roads connecting important city areas to the Outer Ring Road. Waterlogging during the monsoon caused potholes, cracks, and weakened foundations on these stretches, affecting traffic and safety. The project will be executed in phases with a budget of INR 45 crore, using improved road-laying and drainage methods. Regular monitoring and third-party inspections will ensure the work meets quality standards and is completed on time.

Waterlogging during the monsoon caused damage to these roads, including potholes, cracks, and weakened foundations, which disrupted traffic and posed safety risks. The PWD is focusing on stretches with the highest traffic volumes and roads essential for linking inner city areas to the Outer Ring Road. Roads included in the work are Timarpur Road, Wazirabad Flyover to Mall Road, Lucknow Road, Polo Road, Bhamashah Road, Main Burari Road, Vishwavidyalaya Marg, Chhatra Marg, Shreya Mishra Marg, Sudhir Bose Marg, and Guru Teg Bahadur Road.
The work is planned in phases over the coming months, with an overall budget of INR 45 crore. Advanced road-laying techniques and improved drainage systems will be used to make the roads more durable and resistant to future weather damage. The PWD has also arranged for regular monitoring and third-party inspections to maintain quality and ensure timely completion.
Earlier this year, the Delhi government had planned to repair 600 km of roads across the city to address long-standing maintenance backlogs. Before the monsoon, about 250 km of arterial roads were repaired, and the current phase is set to cover another 300-350 km.
