Better commute for Delhiites! From today, Ashram underpass opens on trial basis; Finishing touches remaining

From Tuesday, the Ashram underpass will be opened for the movement of traffic on a trial basis. However, the actual opening of the underpass might take a while longer as the Public Works Department (PWD) is yet to complete its finishing work. According to an IE report, this could take another 10 days. According to Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, who last month, took charge as PWD Minister had said the underpass will be opened to the public by March 22. A senior official from the PWD working on the project was quoted in the report saying that the underpass is almost ready, and the movement of traffic will be partially allowed on the stretch between 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM.

The official further stated that in the night hours, the PWD will complete the remaining work. The construction work is fully done. Only ramps, roof and some other work like repairing roads damaged due to construction, constructing footpaths, and a safety audit is left. According to officials, PWD is targeting to complete the work, including the safety audit, before March 31.
