BRICS Summit traffic plan: Delhi routes to avoid, diversions and airport guide

From September 11 to 13, Delhi will experience three days of traffic restrictions and diversions in preparation for the BRICS Summit. The Delhi Traffic Police has devised a comprehensive plan, including a controlled area network, 22 diversion points, and separate route plans for commuters heading to major railway stations and the airport.

Commuters should plan their journeys in advance, use alternate routes when necessary, and allow for additional travel time. Several key roads will be part of the controlled area, including Tees January Marg, Akbar Road, Teen Murti Marg, Mother Teresa Crescent, Sardar Patel Marg, Janpath, and others. The controlled area also extends to roads in south and central Delhi, such as Mathura Road, Firozeshah Road, Safdarjung Road, and others.

The traffic police has identified 22 points in the city where commuters may be diverted, including Dr Dinesh Nandini Dalmia Chowk, Ram Charan Aggarwal Chowk, Guru Nanak Chowk, and others. At these points, specific routes will be unavailable, and commuters will be directed to use alternate roads. For train passengers, the traffic police has suggested alternative routes depending on the direction of travel, such as ISBT Kashmiri Gate–Boulevard Road–Rani Jhansi Marg–DBG Road for New Delhi Railway Station and Ashram Chowk–Ring Road–Hanuman Mandir–S.P.

Mukherjee Marg for Old Delhi Railway Station. Airport-bound commuters should consider the Metro Service and follow specific routes for different terminals. The Delhi Traffic Police encourages commuters to follow official advisories and social-media updates during the summit period and offers a helpline (1095) and a WhatsApp number (8750871493) for traffic-related assistance.
