Daily commuters on the ITO bridge faced inconvenience as two lanes from ITO to Vikas Marg have been closed for traffic till March 22 due to replacement of Gate no. 21, 22 and 29 at the Yamuna Barrage, ITO Bridge.

The orders to close the two lanes have been undertaken by the Delhi Traffic Police. The lanes were ordered to close from midnight on Thursday and will open around 2 pm on March 22. "We request motorists to take Nizamuddin Bridge and Shanti Van Bridge routes to cross the Yamuna," said DCP, Delhi Traffic Police (central range) Suvashish Chaudhary.

However, there was chaos on the Nizamuddin Bridge on Saturday due to extra traffic. "There is an ongoing construction work at the Nizamuddin Bridge due to which commuters were facing traffic problems, and a diversion of traffic from ITO has added to the problem," said Sushil Kumar, who was stuck in a traffic jam at the Nizamuddin Bridge.
