To control the expected increase in volume of traffic after completion of NH-24 widening work in 2018, Delhi government’s PWD is planning to revive its 2.5 km long tunnel project between NH-24 and Lodhi Road. According to a report by Times of India, because of the presence of monumental buildings, such as Subz Burj, Humayun’s Tomb, Chota Batasewala Mahal, Sunder Mahal, Bada Batasewala Mahal, etc, across the proposed alignment, the government body sent a proposal to the National Monuments Authority (NMA) to be approved.
