From tomorrow, brace for traffic curbs around Delhi's Gole Market for 6 months. Check the advisory
The civic project, spearheaded by the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), includes the restoration of the Gole Market as a museum, along with the redevelopment of the surrounding area, construction of a subway, and a new service block.
The market, a 12-sided marvel with six entrances and a central courtyard, will be the first-of-its-kind museum in the country dedicated to women achievers from different spheres.
The market, which had fallen into disrepair after being closed for over a decade, will be retrofitted with conservation efforts at a projected cost of Rs 21.66 crore, an NDMC statement said last year.
Here is the advisory:
Traffic movement will be restricted in both directions between the Gole Market roundabout and Bhai Veer Singh Marg. However, access to Bhai Veer Singh Marg will still be available via Kali Bari Marg, GPO roundabout, and specific service lanes. Authorities have warned that additional traffic diversions or regulations may be implemented in accordance with evolving on-ground requirements and the progress of construction work.
To manage vehicular flow in the area, specific route regulations have been announced. Vehicles coming from Shaheed Bhagat Singh Marg (Outer Connaught Circle) will be required to take a right at Gole Market roundabout and proceed via Peshwa Road or RK Ashram Marg. Vehicles heading towards GPO roundabout via Gole Market roundabout from Mandir Marg must use Kali Bari Marg.
For heavy vehicles, the recommended alternative route is Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Road via Talkatora roundabout. Additionally, traffic approaching the GPO roundabout from RK Ashram Marg must follow the Panchkuian Marg–Bangla Lane–Peshwa Road route.
In terms of parking, vehicles will only be allowed in designated zones. Parking on service lanes near Gole Market roundabout and Udyan Marg will be prohibited, and any improperly parked vehicles will be towed and prosecuted under relevant laws.
Commuters are encouraged to avoid the affected stretches altogether and use public transport where possible to ease congestion. The Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) is also considering modifying certain bus routes to help bypass the construction zone and maintain the smooth flow of public transportation. Passengers heading to crucial transit points like IGI Airport, New Delhi Railway Station, or ISBTs are urged to plan their journeys in advance, said officials.
