The Public Works Department (PWD) of New Delhi is on track to complete the Mukarba Chowk underpass by April 15, 2024, following a series of delays since its launch in September 2022. The project, which has a budget of ₹59.5 crore (approximately $7.2 million USD), aims to alleviate traffic congestion at a crucial junction heavily used by commuters heading towards Haryana. Currently, workers are finalizing the finishing touches, including road carpeting and wall painting. Previously, commuters from areas like Badli Village and Rohini had to navigate a detour of about 1.5 kilometers to reach their destinations, often facing significant traffic jams near the Haiderpur Badli Mor Metro Station. The underpass is designed to improve traffic flow and includes provisions for both vehicles and pedestrians, with one underpass specifically for non-motorized traffic. The project is nearing completion, with around 80% of the payment already disbursed to contractors.
