Delhi PWD Plans Repairs For Zakhira And Seelampur Flyovers

26 Mar 2026 CW Team

The Seelampur flyover has been in service for nearly two decades and has been allocated about Rs 163 million (mn) for structural strengthening and maintenance work. The project will include extensive repairs intended to improve the safety and durability of the carriageway and supporting elements. Planned interventions comprise the replacement of worn out expansion joints, prestressing of structural strands and overall reinforcement of the superstructure. Officials indicated the schedule is intended to balance thorough rehabilitation with continued traffic movement.

The Zakhira flyover, a much older structure dating from the 1970s, has been allocated about Rs 187 million (mn) for repairs and strengthening. The flyover connects Rohtak Road with Najafgarh Road and carries substantial daily traffic, including a large number of goods vehicles serving industrial clusters in Mundka, Nangloi and Anand Parbat. Repair work will focus on addressing decades of structural deterioration caused by heavy usage and high axle loads. The scale of interventions reflects the strategic importance of the link within the city road network.

The strengthening plan for Zakhira will address spalled and honeycombed concrete surfaces, replace expansion joints and elastomeric bearings and reinforce girders to enhance load bearing capacity. Contractors will sequence work in phases to limit disruption and maintain essential vehicular movement while interventions are carried out. The programmes for both flyovers are intended to extend service life and improve resilience against future stress. Authorities will monitor progress and adjust phasing as required to ensure safety and timely completion.

The Delhi government has moved forward with plans to rehabilitate two key flyovers in the capital after the Public Works Department finalised the scope of repair works for the Seelampur and Zakhira structures. The decisions follow the approval of funding to strengthen the ageing bridges about two months earlier. Work will be carried out in phases, with the Seelampur flyover expected to undergo rehabilitation over about 12 months and the larger Zakhira flyover likely to take around 18 months to complete.
