Delhi Traffic Police has asked the PWD to redesign the Barapullah Phase-III merger near Sundial Park after severe congestion surfaced days after opening. The lane mismatch and sharp alignment have created a recurring choke point, while officials have also blamed inaccurate Google Maps updates for worsening traffic.

A week after the Barapullah Phase-III flyover was thrown open with a promise of cutting the journey from Mayur Vihar to AIIMS in Delhi to just 15 minutes, commuters are spending more than an hour inching through traffic on the newly opened corridor. On Tuesday, traffic queues stretching over 2 km brought the 3.5-km stretch to a crawl, with commuters reporting waiting times of 70–100 minutes.
