Subway planned near Moti Bagh station.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation recently announced its plans to construct an underground subway near the upcoming Moti Bagh Metro station on the Ring Road. According to a statement released by the DMRC, the project was being undertaken to facilitate the station entry of passengers coming from different residential areas surrounding the metro station.

The construction work for the subway is expected to start from coming May and will be completed in nine months.

'The under-construction Moti Bagh Metro station on the Majlis Park-Shiv Vihar corridor of Phase 3 will be located on the intersection of Ring Road and Rao Tularam Marg. This pedestrian subway will facilitate the entry of passengers who will come from the other side of the Ring Road,' read the statement.

Given the existing conditions on the road, the Moti Bagh Station is being constructed parallel to the Moti Bagh Flyover due to which no entry/exit point could be provided for the commuters on the New Moti Bagh side. This, said the DMRC, was the main reason that the subway had to be planned.
