Vehicular movement has resumed on the Old Railway Bridge, bringing relief to commuters as the Yamuna's water level fell below the danger mark in New Delhi.
The bridge closure from September 2 forced traffic diversions and longer travel times across the city. Reopening has eased connectivity between northeastern and northern parts of the capital, along with improved traffic flow in central Delhi.
Commuters, who faced heavy congestion, now find their travel time reduced following the bridge's reopening. Authorities closed the bridge as a safety measure after the river breached danger levels, with water receding steadily to facilitate the restoration of traffic.
