Gurugram: 14-km Road Stretch From Iffco Chowk To Dwarka Expressway To Be Upgraded To Ease Traffic Congestion

The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has announced it will reconstruct a 14-km stretch from Iffco Chowk to the Dwarka Expressway via Basai Road, aiming to ease congestion in Old Gurugram, reported Hindustan Times.

The project will involve relaying the road surface, widening key sections, and clearing illegal encroachments.

Officials have already completed a comprehensive survey and traffic analysis.

“This stretch is in the heart of Old Gurugram and it has been decided to upgrade it. We have decided to relay the road and build surface drain along the entire stretch,” a senior GMDA official was quoted as saying by HT.

The congested stretch begins at Iffco Chowk in Sukhrali Village, passes Mahavir Chowk near Sadar Bazar, the Gurudwara Road, Bhuteshwar Mandir intersection, the Basai Road corridor, and extends to the Basai flyover leading to Dwarka Expressway.

Earlier plans to expand the road and add flyovers were abandoned due to space constraints.

Instead, GMDA will improve the existing alignment and add a surface drainage system to prevent waterlogging.

A consultant will prepare a detailed cost estimate within a month.

Once approved, the upgrade will extend from Basai to Bhuteshwar Mandir, continue to Jail Land, and connect Mahavir Chowk with MG Road, ending at Iffco Chowk.

“Once completed, the project will help commuters move with ease and improve connectivity with Dwarka expressway,” the official added. GMDA expects the reconstruction to significantly improve travel conditions and reduce traffic bottlenecks along this vital urban artery.
