Delhi: Pragati Maidan tunnel, six underpasses to be covered with roofs to prevent waterlogging
In order to avoid waterlogging during the monsoon, the Public Works Department (PWD) has decided to install roof covers on the 1.36 kilometre-long Pragati Maidan tunnel and six underpasses.
The tunnel is being built beneath the Pragati Maidan, starting from Purana Quila near Sports Club of India to Ring Road near Pragati Power station. It is expected to decongest traffic jams around the Pragati Maidan, ITO junction, India Gate and the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, underpasses are being built on Bhairon Marg, Supreme Court, Pragati Maidan, Sher Shah Suri road, DPS schools near Sundar Nagar, Science Center and Mathura Road.
