India, April 16 -- Work on the underpass in north Delhi's congested Mukarba area is 98 per cent complete and will open for traffic by the end of the month, Delhi PWD Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh said on Wednesday after an inspection. The Public Works Department has finished the construction work and only final touches remain, he said. The project, aimed at easing congestion in the busy north Delhi stretch, includes three tunnels for two-wheelers, pedestrians and four-wheelers. "We plan to open this for traffic use by this month as the work is 98 per cent complete," the minister added. He said special attention has been given to prevent waterlogging and the road slope has been designed accordingly. "The stretch witnesses heavy traffic daily and the project aims to ensure smoother movement," Singh told reporters. mpost
