Second carriageway of Ashram underpass opens for commuters in Delhi

Delhi’s Public Works Department on Wednesday began a trial run of the second carriageway from Nizamuddin to Badarpur of the much-awaited Ashram underpass on Mathura road, officials said.

With the opening of both carriageways, traffic flow at the Ashram intersection remained smooth on Wednesday, the PWD officials said.

The trial run of the facility will continue till the underpass is formally inaugurated, which is expected by the end of this month, they added.

We have opened the second carriageway today (Wednesday) morning. Now both the carriageways of the underpass are open for commuters and as a result there was no traffic congestion in the area during peak hours, a senior PWD official told PTI.
