Delhi: After 7 missed deadlines, Ashram underpass opening next month
After seven missed deadlines, the much-awaited Ashram underpass in Southeast Delhi will finally be completed by the month-end and be operational on or before March 31, said officials.
“Work on the Ashram underpass is nearly done and is on target — only the roof, ramps and finishing touches are left — and will be completed by March-end. Once it is inaugurated, commuting to Central Delhi and Faridabad will become smooth,” said a senior PWD official closely associated with the project.
Ashram Chowk, Ring Road and Mathura Road are choked for hours as a result of work on the stretch, which sees nearly 3 lakh vehicles every day. Work on the 750-metre-long underpass began in 2019 but was delayed by road closures due to the Shaheen Bagh protest and the Covid lockdown.
