NEW DELHI SUBWAY TO EASE AIRPORT ACCESS


  A new subway, complete with moving walks, will ease access to domestic terminals at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, The Times of India reports. Currently, passengers with their luggage who use the Delhi Metro Rail Corp.'s (DMRC) Magenta Line to access the airport have to trek on foot from the station to the terminal, a walk that includes crossing a busy road. The addition of a 370-m-long subway with moving walks, elevators and escalators — set to open in May 2019 — will eliminate the long walk. A DMRC spokesman said the subway will connect the arrival and departure areas of the domestic terminal with Gate No. 3 of the metro station, with an entry/exit point each at arrival and departure areas of the terminal. Each entry/exit point will have two escalators and two 26-passenger elevators.
