Delhi PWD Inspects 102 Flyovers for Repairs

The Public Works Department (PWD) has launched a large-scale inspection of 102 flyovers across Delhi, deploying five teams to assess structural and maintenance issues over the next two days. Based on the findings, repair work is set to begin according to a government order issued.

The inspection follows a recent meeting with Delhi’s Minister Parvesh Verma. As per the directive, teams must submit their flyover-wise reports by March 6, 12 noon, to the chief engineer (flyovers), who will compile and forward them to the PWD secretariat by 6 PM. A special secretary will oversee the inspection process.

Officials have identified several flyovers requiring urgent repairs, including Andrews Ganj, Gokulpuri, Zakhira, Tilak Nagar, Old Punjabi Bagh, Raja Garden, and Shadipur flyovers—the latter being one of the oldest in the city. Meanwhile, repair work is already underway on the Sarita Vihar flyover.

Many of these flyovers, built over a decade ago, have not undergone major repairs. Routine maintenance typically involves replacing expansion joints, bearings, and upper concrete layers to prevent structural deterioration. The teams will evaluate each flyover’s cleanliness, tiling, painting, lighting, and encroachments, documenting issues with photographs.

Once the reports are finalized, budget estimates will be prepared to prioritize repairs based on available funds. Officials have emphasized a staggered approach to minimize traffic disruptions.

Over the past two years, significant repairs have been carried out on flyovers at Shahdara, Loni Road, Nangloi, Chirag Delhi, Okhla, Janak Setu, and Pul Mithai, highlighting the government’s focus on maintaining Delhi’s critical road infrastructure.
