Union Road Transport and Highways Minister, Nitin Gadkari has laid the foundation stone for the 4-lane Gurugram-Mahendergarh road costing ₹4,500 crore and would be part of the NH 352-W. It will ease traffic pressure on the Delhi-Jaipur NH-8. The 46.1 km long Gurugram-Rewari road is also a part of the project. The project will have 99 culverts, 12 small bridges, 13 underpasses, two flyovers and one road overbridge. While ₹2,300 crore will be spent on land acquisition and compensation, the rest will go into the construction of the Rewari-Mahendergarh part of the project. The project includes the construction of the 7-km long Pataudi bypass, which will reduce congestion in Pataudi town. This road project will improve the connectivity between Gurugram, Rewari and Mahindergarh by making commuting easier. The construction of this road will also reduce commuting time and boost employment opportunities as local youth would be able to access NCR with ease in a shorter time span.
