Final underpass at Pragati Maidan tunnel in Delhi gets renewed push

Hindustan Times  

Delhi’s Public Works Department has written to the Union government to restart work at a Pragati Maidan underpass – the last of the six corridors around the tunnel leading to the complex – after work on the project was halted following floods during the 2023 monsoon, officials aware of the matter have said. This corridor was initially supposed to be completed along with the Pragati Maidan tunnel and the other four underpasses in June 2022, but after delays, the project deadline extended to the end of 2022, and then further to early 2023. Built at a cost of more than ₹920 crore, the Pragati Maidan Integrated Transit Corridor project is aimed at providing hassle free and smooth access “Bharat Mandapam”, the new exhibition and convention centre developed at Pragati Maidan. It will take at least six months, so we may be able to finish work before next monsoon, if we start on time,” said another PWD official.
