New Delhi, July 14 - The road near the Delhi Metro accident site in South Delhi was Tuesday opened for one-way traffic from Moolchand to Nehru Place. Water and power supply to the area are yet to be restored.

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) chief E. Sreedharan visited the accident site Tuesday morning, where six people had been killed Sunday when a section of the reinforced concrete viaduct - on which the rails will be placed - collapsed due to cracks in a supporting pillar. Three cranes toppled over during the rescue work Monday, injuring five more.

'The road has been opened only for the traffic going from Moolchand to Nehru Place. Traffic from Nehru Place to Moolchand has been diverted to Sant Nagar and Greater Kailash. Only light vehicles are allowed to ply on the route and heavy vehicles will have to take Ring Road,' a police official said.

The officials at the site said it would take six-seven days to reopen the Nehru Place-Moolchand route.
