Delhi's ITO Underpass Construction Set to Restart
Delhi is resuming work on an underpass near Pragati Maidan to help traffic.
The project was paused last year because of flooding.
The government got permission from the central government to restart the project.
This underpass is meant to make it easier for people to travel on Ring Road near Bhairon Marg, Sarai Kale Khan, and ITO by the end of the year.
Construction work on the ITO underpass in Delhi will resume after receiving approval from the Centre.
The underpass is part of the Pragati Maidan transit corridor.
Work was halted in 2023 due to flooding near the Yamuna River.
A new plan was proposed by the Public Works Department (PWD) and approved by the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA).
The underpass aims to ease traffic for commuters near Bhairon Marg, Sarai Kale Khan, and ITO.
