Delhi Traffic Police has issued an important traffic advisory for commuters traveling near Burari Chowk and nearby areas in Delhi. According to the advisory, traffic movement may remain affected until May 11, 2026, due to repair work being carried out on a damaged pipeline at 100 Foota Road in Burari.

The repair work is being conducted by the Delhi Jal Board and reportedly began on May 9, 2026. Authorities have warned that traffic congestion and slow movement are likely in the surrounding areas during the ongoing maintenance work.

People traveling through the affected routes are being advised to plan their journeys in advance and use alternative roads to avoid delays and heavy traffic jams.

Why Traffic Is Being Affected in Burari

According to the official advisory shared by Delhi Traffic Police on its social media platforms, a damaged water pipeline on Burari’s 100 Foota Road is currently under repair.

Due to excavation and maintenance work, traffic movement in and around Burari Chowk is expected to remain slow until Monday, May 11.

Officials say the repair work is necessary to restore normal water supply operations in the affected area.

Traffic Expected to Move Slowly

The advisory specifically mentions that traffic congestion may increase near:

• Burari Chowk
• 100 Foota Road
• Outer Ring Road connecting areas
• Nearby diversion routes

Commuters traveling during peak office hours may experience longer travel times due to diversions and restricted road movement.

Alternate Routes Suggested by Delhi Traffic Police

To help reduce inconvenience for commuters, Delhi Traffic Police has suggested several alternate routes for vehicles traveling between Burari Chowk and Outer Ring Road.

Alternate Route From Burari Chowk to Outer Ring Road Route 1

• Burari Chowk
• Hiranki
• Pushta Road
• Jharoda Metro Station
• Nala Road
• Jai Shri Ram Chowk
• Jagatpur Wazirabad Bridge
• Outer Ring Road

Route 2

• Burari Chowk
• Hiranki
• Pushta Road
• Wazirabad Road
• Under Wazirabad Flyover
• Outer Ring Road

These alternate routes are being recommended to reduce congestion near the repair site.

Route for Traveling From Outer Ring Road to Burari Chowk

Commuters coming from Outer Ring Road toward Burari Chowk have also been advised to use diversion routes.

Suggested Route

• Outer Ring Road
• Under Wazirabad Flyover
• Wazirabad Road
• Raj Marg
• Pushta Road
• Hiranki
• Burari Chowk

Authorities believe these diversions will help improve traffic flow while repair work continues.

Delhi Traffic Police Appeals to Commuters

Delhi Traffic Police has requested residents and commuters to cooperate with officials and follow all diversion instructions carefully.

Authorities have advised people to:

• Plan travel schedules in advance
• Avoid unnecessary travel through affected routes
• Follow traffic signs and police instructions
• Check real-time traffic updates before leaving home

Police officials have also urged commuters to monitor official Delhi Traffic Police social media handles and traffic information channels for live updates and route advisories.

Repair Work May Continue Till May 11

As per the current advisory, traffic disruptions may continue until Monday, May 11, depending on the progress of the pipeline repair work.

Commuters using routes around Burari, Wazirabad, and Outer Ring Road are therefore advised to leave earlier than usual to avoid delays.

With Delhi already experiencing heavy daily traffic movement, even temporary repair work can significantly impact commuting times in busy areas. Authorities are hoping that public cooperation and route diversions will help minimize inconvenience during the maintenance period.
