NHAI starts construction of 5-km flyover in Gurugram

NHAI has launched construction work of the 5-km flyover on the Gurugram-Alwar stretch on the NH-48. Project Director Ashok Kumar Sharma said that NHAI has pressed into service a maximum number of workers to complete it within the stipulated deadline of one year. The stretch between Rajiv Chowk to Badshahpur remains clogged by traffic and the flyover between Subhash Chowk and Badshahpur will greatly ease the congestion. The project comprises six-lane main carriageway and a three-lane service road. The tender for the elevated flyover has been allotted to Oriental Infrastructure Pvt Ltd which will construct it under the supervision of NHAI, which is also building another underpass on the elevated road. There will be two underpasses - one at Subhash Chowk and another at the T-junction near Vatika Chowk where the Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) merges with Sohna Road. Besides, there will be three foot over-bridges for pedestrians. The project will also provide alternate connectivity to the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) expressway from National Highway-48 near Rajiv Chowk.
