The Delhi Metro Rail achieved another tunnel breakthrough of Delhi Metro’s Phase III project in South-West Delhi by completing the tunneling of Dwarka–Najafgarh corridor (Line 9).
The total length of this standard gauge corridor is 4.4 km of which a section of 2.76 km is elevated and 1.55 km is underground. Najafgarh is the only underground station as two other stations of this corridor are Dwarka and Nangli, which are elevated. Dwarka will serve as an interchange station with this line.
This is another engineering landmark for DMRC as this part of West Delhi is heavily congested and a lot of utility diversions were made before this TBM drive. In this corridor two tunnels for to and fro movements of trains will be made. This is the first completed tunnel.
