Prime Minister Narendra Modi will dedicate to the nation the main tunnel and five underpasses of Pragati Maidan Integrated Transit Corridor Project on Sunday, 19 June at 10:30 am. He will also address the gathering on the occasion.

The Pragati Maidan Integrated Transit Corridor project is an integral part of Pragati Maidan Redevelopment Project. Built at a cost of more than Rs 920 crore, it is entirely funded by the Central government.

The Integrated Transit Corridor aims to provide hassle free and smooth access to the new world class exhibition and convention centre being developed at Pragati Maidan, Delhi. It will facilitate easy participation of exhibitors and visitors in the programmes being held at Pragati Maidan.

According to the Prime Minister’s office (PMO), the impact of the project will, however, be much beyond Pragati Maidan as it will ensure hassle-free vehicular movement, largely helping commuters save time and cost.

“It is part of the overarching vision of the government to ensure ease of living for people through transforming urban infrastructure,” PMO said.

Details of main tunnel that PM Modi will dedicate to the nation

The main Tunnel connects Ring Road with India Gate via Purana Qila Road passing through Pragati Maidan.

The six lane divided Tunnel has multiple purposes, including access to the huge basement parking of Pragati Maidan. A unique component of the Tunnel is that two cross tunnels below the main tunnel road have been constructed in order to facilitate movement of the traffic from either side of the parking lot. It is equipped with the latest global standard facilities for smooth movement of traffic such as smart fire management, modern ventilation and automated drainage, digitally controlled CCTV and Public Announcement system inside the Tunnel.

This long-awaited Tunnel will serve as an alternative route to Bhairon Marg, which is running much beyond its carriage capacity and is expected to take more than half of the traffic load of Bhairon Marg.

Along with the tunnel, there will be six underpasses – four on Mathura Road, one on Bhairon Marg and one on the intersection of Ring Road and Bhairon Marg.
