Gurugram plans elevated road on Southern Peripheral Road

The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) is moving ahead with plans to construct a 4.2 km elevated road along Southern Peripheral Road (SPR).

The project is estimated to cost about Rs 755 crore and is designed to create a signal-free corridor along the busy stretch.

The elevated road will connect Vatika Chowk with NH-48 near the Kherki Daula toll plaza, one of the most congested sections of the corridor.

The proposed structure will feature eight lanes in a 4+4 configuration, aimed at improving traffic movement across the route, reported MagicBricks.

Officials said the elevated corridor is expected to significantly reduce travel time for commuters using Southern Peripheral Road.

Travel time along the corridor is expected to drop from around 45 minutes to about 15 minutes once the project is completed.

Authorities said the infrastructure project will support growing residential and commercial development along the SPR corridor.
