New Delhi, June 17 (KNN) Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Integrated Transit Corridor at Pragati Maidan on June 19 at 10:30 am.

The Integrated Transit Corridor project includes a main tunnel and six underpasses and is built at a cost of more than Rs. 920 crore.

It aims to provide hassle free and smooth access to the new world class exhibition and convention centre being developed at Pragati Maidan, thereby facilitating easy participation of exhibitors and visitors in the programmes being held at Maidan.

This project will ensure easy vehicular movement, helping save time and cost of commuters in a big way. It is part of the overarching vision of the government to ensure ease of living for people through transforming urban infrastructure.

This long-awaited Tunnel will serve as an alternative route to Bhairon Marg, which is running much beyond its carriage capacity and is expected to take more than half of the traffic load of Bhairon Marg.  (KNN Bureau)
