NEW DELHI: The Public Works Department (PWD) has completed repairs in the Pragati Maidan tunnel within a month, following the discovery of cracks on its surface, officials have said.
Initiated on March 20, the repairs addressed critical issues such as filling cracks and rectifying slope gradients in drains. Routine upkeep, including drain-cleaning is currently underway, officials added.
A senior PWD official said although the repair work was estimated to take 20-25 days, it was successfully completed within the timeframe, with ongoing maintenance efforts now adapted to minimise traffic disruptions. Barricades have been erected, with maintenance works scheduled for weekends when traffic is reduced.
