Traffic may start getting slow from the afternoon and become worse as match time comes closer. The heaviest rush is expected between 1 PM and 9 PM because that is when fans will be going to the stadium, the match will be going on, and people will leave after it ends. Even after the match, traffic may remain slow for some time because large crowds will be coming out together.
Police said some main roads may see the most traffic pressure. These include Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg from Delhi Gate to ITO on both sides, Jawaharlal Nehru Marg from Rajghat to Delhi Gate on both sides, and Asaf Ali Road from Turkman Gate to Delhi Gate.
