Gurugram plans six-lane flyover, underpass at Ardee City

The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority plans to construct a flyover and an underpass at the Ardee City intersection, where Sectors 43, 44, 52 and 52A meet.

The project is estimated to cost Rs 140 crore.

The detailed project report is almost ready and will be placed before the government for approval at the next GMDA authority meeting, officials said.

Under the initial plan, a six-lane flyover would be built on Saint Thomas Marg towards Sector 45, while a six-lane underpass would be constructed on Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar Marg towards Sector 56, reported The Hindustan Times.

“The initial proposal is to build a three-lane flyover on each side of Saint Thomas Marg towards Sector 45,” a senior GMDA official said.

The official said the underpass would also have three lanes on each side on Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar Marg towards Sector 56.

“This is a tentative proposal, and the design could be changed by higher authorities later,” the official said.

The proposed structures are intended to reduce congestion and provide signal-free movement through the intersection.

The Ardee City junction is where four major roads — Saint Thomas Marg, Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar Marg, Bhagwan Mahavir Marg and Captain Ganpat Rao Yadav Marg — converge.

Another underpass is planned on Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar Marg at Z Chowk near Millennium City Centre, around two kilometres from the Ardee City intersection.

Residents have said the junction currently requires long waiting times for commuters crossing the intersection.

The proposed Ardee City project is yet to receive final government approval. The DPR will be placed before the GMDA authority after it is completed.
