Construction on the Pragati Maidan-Bhairo Marg tunnel is projected for completion within eight to nine months, pending final approval from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, according to Delhi PWD Minister Parvesh Verma.

Verma conducted a site inspection with BJP MP Manoj Tiwari and PWD officials, reiterating the tunnel's significance in alleviating traffic congestion around Pragati Maidan.

Previously stalled due to technical issues and flooding, the project has now incorporated expert consultations to adopt a new construction methodology, ensuring safety under live railway lines.
