Waterlogged underpasses trigger long delays on Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway

Heavy rainfall caused extensive traffic disruption on the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway after waterlogging forced the closure of the Ambience Mall and Bajghera underpasses.

The closures created long queues and pushed commuters onto detours, with travellers facing delays of several hours on routes around the expressway. The two underpasses are important links for movement in the Gurgaon stretch, so their closure quickly added pressure to surrounding roads.

For Delhi NCR residents who use this corridor for office commutes, airport-bound trips or travel between Delhi and Gurgaon, the episode is another reminder that intense rain can sharply affect road journeys. Checking live traffic conditions and allowing additional travel time may be useful during heavy showers.

Civic agencies have said they will work jointly on a plan to address repeated waterlogging at the underpasses. The proposed response includes infrastructure upgrades and improved drainage systems. No timeline for the work or details of the planned upgrades were provided.
