Planning to drive around Delhi this week? Check I-Day traffic rules
Heads up if you're traveling around Delhi and Noida this week—Independence Day celebrations mean some serious traffic changes from August 12 to 15.
To keep things secure for rehearsals and the big day, goods vehicles can't enter Delhi via Noida borders during key hours, and several main roads near Red Fort will be closed to regular traffic.
What you need to know
On August 13 (4am-10am), major routes like Netaji Subhash Marg, Lothian Road, Chandni Chowk Road, and others around Red Fort will be off-limits.
Goods vehicles are being rerouted through Chilla Red Light, DND Toll Plaza, or Kalindi Kunj Yamuna Bridge toward the expressways.
If you're commuting, stick to public transport—Metro is your best bet—and steer clear of restricted zones.
Authorities also want everyone to stay alert and report anything suspicious to help keep the city safe.
