The Morning Standard
|June 09, 2025
The Delhi government on Sunday announced the construction of a tunnel from Shiv Murti-Mahipalpur to Nelson Mandela Road in Vasant Kunj to ease congestion in South Delhi and the NCR.
The tunnel, featuring two underground tubes, is expected to streamline vehicular flow and significantly reduce traffic snarls.
CM Rekha Gupta said the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has approved six major infrastructure projects for the capital. Among them, the 5-kilometer-long tunnel is a key initiative aimed at balancing traffic between South Delhi and NCR, curbing pollution, and enhancing the city's overall infrastructure. The project will be developed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) at an estimated cost of ₹3,500 crore.
