Commuters navigating major arterial routes out of Delhi face distinct travel updates this week as infrastructure work and large-scale public events alter vehicular movement in both Haryana and Uttar Pradesh border corridors. Traffic heading north toward Sonipat along National Highway 44 will undergo phased nightly diversions, while the twin-city corridor between Noida and Greater Noida is managing heavy-vehicle access controls for an ongoing convention.
Overnight Curbs on Highway 44 Between 11 PM and 5 AM
Starting Tuesday, September 22, and continuing through Friday, September 25, the outbound lane of NH-44 linking Delhi to Sonipat will see nightly access adjustments. The intervention facilitates construction work on a new footover bridge near the Kundli border. To ensure safety around overhead crane activity and structural assembly, the central carriage route will be cordoned off for an operational window of six hours each night, lasting from 11 PM to 5 AM.
The restriction impacts a localized stretch of roughly 400 meters along the main highway. Rather than halting movement entirely, traffic marshals and police teams will channel vehicles onto the adjacent designated service road. Adequate field personnel are being stationed across the area to manage lane discipline and guide motorists smoothly past the construction zone. Commuters traveling toward Haryana and further north have been advised to schedule long-haul trips around these late-night restrictions to bypass potential slow-downs.
Noida-Greater Noida Expressway Freight Bans for Event
Simultaneously, traffic authorities in Gautam Buddha Nagar rolled out sweeping curbs on Sunday to accommodate the 'Prerna Vimarsh 2026' event taking place at Gautam Buddha University in Greater Noida. Running from 7 AM until 10 PM, the order enforces a strict ban on heavy, medium, and light goods vehicles operating on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and its connecting periphery.
Exemptions remain firmly in place for critical infrastructure and everyday life-support transport. Emergency fleets, including ambulances and fire department vehicles, alongside trucks transporting essential milk, fruits, and vegetables, retain unrestricted clearance throughout the region. Private passenger vehicles can still access the expressway corridor, though localized diversions are being applied dynamically as congestion demands.
Alternate Arteries Across Chilla, Mahamaya, and Pari Chowk
Under the contingency network mapped by traffic police, motorists driving from the Chilla red light, DND flyway toll, Film City, and Mahamaya flyover toward Pari Chowk or Zero Point are being routed via Rajnigandha Chowk. These vehicles can proceed through the Sector-18 and Sector-37 underpasses to connect with the Bhangel elevated corridor before cutting across Kulesara and Surajpur.
Conversely, vehicles heading into Noida from Greater Noida or off the Yamuna Expressway are guided from Pari Chowk toward Surajpur T-junction, Kulesara, and Phase-2 roadways. For drivers navigating exits near Sectors 132, 151, and 152, connecting paths around Genesis Global School and adjoining dual service roads have been designated to keep arterial bottlenecks to a minimum.
