Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the necessary tunnel and 5 other underpass sections of the Pragati Maidan Integrated Transit Corridor project here on June 19, officials said on Friday.
The opening of the 1.6-km-long tunnel, which will be Delhi’s first, will enable commuters traveling from East Delhi, Noida and Ghaziabad to India Gate and other central Delhi areas to ditch the snarls of site visitors at ITO, Mathura Road and Bhairon Marg.
The Pragati Maidan Integrated Transit Corridor initiative has been constructed at a cost of over ₹ 920 crore and is fully funded through the Central Government, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said in a statement.
