NHAI hastens Gurugram-Manesar e-way project

In order to speed up the construction work of Phase 1 of the Greater Southern Peripheral Road (GSPR), also known as Gurugram-Manesar Expressway, NHAI has submitted its proposal for the alignment and the project is being undertaken in a phased manner. The alignment has been submitted to GMDA for its approval for the e-way connecting NH-8, MG Road and Faridabad road as the alignment originates from NH-8 near Dhanchiri Camp, traversing east along the boundary wall of Rajokri Air Force station, then turn south to meet Mehrauli-Gurugram (MG) Road. In its first 700m length, the road will pass from Dhanchiri Camp in Dundahera village to Rajokri in Delhi, after which it will head towards Nathupur village in Gurugram, before crossing MG Road and traversing through the Aravalis to terminate at Faridabad road near the Silver Oaks intersection. The total length of the alignment is 7.2-km, of which 2.2-km will pass through Delhi, and 5-km in Haryana. It will also have an interchange with the proposed extension of Delhi‘s Nelson Mandela Marg, which will connect with GSPR at Rangpuri bypass.The expressway, which is eventually expected to share the burden of Delhi-Gurugram Expressway, will be important due to its route, which is expected to benefit industries in Manesar, said NHAI sources.
