Gurugram plans service roads on busy 3-km stretch to ease Metro construction congestion

The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has floated a Rs 20-crore tender to construct service roads along a three-kilometre stretch between Subhash Chowk and Hero Honda Chowk, aiming to ease congestion on one of the city’s busy road corridors.

The tender covers the stretch connecting the Delhi-Jaipur Highway with the Gurugram-Sohna Highway, which carries an estimated 70,000–80,000 vehicles daily.

Officials said congestion has increased during morning and evening peak hours since construction began on the Old Gurugram Metro corridor along the road’s central verge.

The proposed service roads are intended to increase available road capacity and improve access for vehicles travelling to nearby residential and commercial areas, reported The Hindustan Times.

The bids for the project will be opened on November 23. According to a senior GMDA official, construction is expected to begin next year, with the work scheduled to be completed within 18 months of the contract being awarded.

The stretch serves several important government offices, including the Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran estate office, Municipal Corporation Gurugram and the Central Board of Secondary Education office in Sector 34.

It also runs near the two phases of Info City, which together house around 1,500 companies and attract more than one lakh employees daily.

Nearby residential societies and a special economic zone also contribute to traffic movement along the corridor.

Separately, GMDA has floated another tender worth Rs 5 crore to repair the road between Millennium City Centre Metro station and Subhash Chowk.

The additional work will cover an extension of the same road network, where Metro construction is also under way along the central verge.

The service-road project is part of efforts to manage the increasing traffic pressure on Gurugram’s main road network while construction of the Old Gurugram Metro corridor continues.
