New Delhi, 7 July: Delhi PWD Minister Parvesh Verma Monday
said that the Pragati Maidan-Bhairo Marg tunnel will be completed by the Public
Works Department (PWD) in eight-nine months after approval from the Ministry of
Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA).
The Minister, along with BJP MP Manoj Tiwari and PWD
engineers, inspected the upcoming tunnel to take stock of the work.
The
tunnel, which forms a part of the Pragati Maidan transit corridor, is intended
to provide a route for commuters travelling from Central Delhi to Sarai Kale
Khan, ISBT, Ashram, and other areas.
Currently one half of the underpass has been opened
as the other ramp has not been completed. It was supposed to be opened along
with the main tunnel in Pragati Maidan. The project was delayed due to flood in
the Yamuna river two years ago.
