Benito Juarez underpass in Delhi was thrown open to the public after missing several deadlines. Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on July 2 inaugurated the 1.2 km-long Y-shaped underpass which will ease traffic congestion and provide a smooth ride to those commuting between Delhi and Gurugram, Sisodia said.

बेनिटो जुआरेज़ मार्ग पर 1.2 km के आधुनिक Y आकार के अंडरपास के लोकार्पण से गुड़गांव और दिल्ली के बीच आने-जाने वाले लाखों लोगों को रोज़ाना जाम से नहीं जूझना पड़ेगा।

समय की बचत के आर्थिक मूल्य को जोड़ते हुए, ये अंडरपास हर साल दिल्लीवासियों के लिए ₹18 करोड़ बचाएगा। सबको बहुत बधाई! pic.twitter.com/U4HINWr9XM
