The Kejriwal government’s efforts to make Delhi congestion-free are set to enter a new chapter soon. The underpass constructed by the Public Works Department (PWD) on Bhairon Marg will be opened to the public soon, providing relief from traffic congestion for hundreds of vehicles traveling daily from Central Delhi to Trans Yamuna and Noida.
On Thursday, PWD Minister Atishi inspected the underpass and directed officials to expedite the remaining work, with instructions to open the underpass for traffic at the earliest.
The PWD Minister said, “After the underpass is operational, daily commuters from Central and New Delhi to destinations like Ring Road, Trans Yamuna, East Delhi, and Noida will find their journey more convenient. This will eliminate the need for a U-turn of approximately 1.5 km near the ITO depot, which is currently being used by the public. Vehicles can now travel directly from Bhairon Marg to Ring Road by using the underpass. This will reduce the traffic load on the Pragati Maidan tunnel, and evening traffic at this location will also be lessened.
During this inspection, PWD Minister Atishi stated that the vision of the Kejriwal government is to provide better road infrastructure in Delhi. The PWD is dedicated to this goal, with the underpass on Bhairon Marg being a significant effort in this direction.
The underpass, constructed with exceptional engineering, will benefit daily commuters from Central Delhi to Trans Yamuna and Noida, saving time and fuel costs. People will now be able to reach home quickly, spending precious time with family and loved ones, while also contributing to traffic decongestion.
