Delhi PWD Plans 4 km Tunnel to Extend Munak Canal Corridor to Kashmere Gate

The plan remains at the DPR stage with timelines, costs and clearances yet to be set.

Overview

  • Officials say the InderlokKashmere Gate link would complete a continuous, signal‑free route from the DelhiHaryana border into central Delhi.
  • With the tunnel, the corridor’s planned length rises from about 20 km to roughly 24 km, connecting ISBT, Outer Ring Road and the Wazirabad corridor.
  • PWD has begun interdepartmental coordination to align the project with wider mobility plans and to finalise technical integration with the elevated sections.
  • Preliminary estimates from the department project up to a 40% cut in travel time between the DelhiHaryana border and Kashmere Gate.
  • The extension is intended to ease chronic bottlenecks at Mukarba Chowk, Azadpur and Roshanara Road and to benefit commuters from Sonipat, Rohtak and UER-II.
