The Haryana government has approved a ₹29-crore project to construct a six-lane road connecting the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway to New Gurugram sectors, with work expected to begin in August.
Haryana Clears Key Road Project in Gurugram
The Haryana government has approved a long-pending infrastructure project to widen a crucial road connecting the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway to New Gurugram, ending a delay of nearly 10 years.
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has sanctioned the construction of the master road between Sectors 78 and 80, paving the way for work on a major corridor that links the expressway with Naurangpur. According to officials, construction is expected to begin in the first week of August after the contract is awarded to the selected agency.
The project is aimed at improving connectivity and easing traffic movement in one of Gurugram’s rapidly developing areas.
₹29-Crore Project to Feature Six Lanes
The road expansion project, estimated to cost ₹29 crore, will transform the existing stretch into a six-lane corridor equipped with modern infrastructure.
According to officials, the project will include:
- A six-lane main carriageway.
- Service roads on both sides.
- A central median.
- Footpaths for pedestrians.
- A drainage system to prevent waterlogging.
The primary carriageway will be 9.9 metres wide, while each service road will measure 5.5 metres in width.
Important Link for Emerging Residential Sectors
The 2.4-kilometre road connects Naurangpur with Rampura Chowk on the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway and serves as a vital access route for residents of Sectors 78, 79 and 80.
Over the past few years, these sectors have witnessed rapid residential and commercial development, increasing the demand for better road infrastructure and smoother connectivity to the national capital region.
Residents have long sought the completion of the project, which had remained stalled due to various administrative and planning hurdles.
Construction Expected to Begin in August
Officials have indicated that construction work is likely to commence in early August once the tendering process is completed and the contract is awarded.
The project is expected to take around two years to complete. Once operational, the widened road is anticipated to reduce congestion, improve traffic flow and strengthen connectivity between New Gurugram and the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway.
Boost to Gurugram’s Infrastructure Network
The approval of the road project marks another step in Haryana’s efforts to upgrade urban infrastructure in Gurugram, one of the country’s fastest-growing cities.
By enhancing connectivity and introducing improved drainage and pedestrian facilities, the project is expected to support future growth in the region while addressing the transportation needs of thousands of residents.
