About
The project has been built at a cost of more than Rs. 920 crores and is funded entirely by the Central Government
It aims to provide hassle-free and smooth access to the new world-class exhibition and convention centre being developed at Pragati Maidan (New Delhi), thereby facilitating easy participation of exhibitors and visitors in the programmes being held at Pragati Maidan
The project is in line with the vision of the government to ensure ease of living for people through transforming urban infrastructure
The project would include a main tunnel and five underpasses
A unique component of the Tunnel is that two cross tunnels below the main tunnel road have been constructed to facilitate the movement of the traffic from either side of the parking lot
The tunnel is equipped with the latest technologies such as smart fire management, modern ventilation and automated drainage, digitally controlled CCTV and a Public Announcement system which would facilitate smooth movement of traffic
