Elevated corridor on Gurgaon's MG Road set to get nod

The Gurgaon Municipal Corporation’s proposed elevated corridor at Maharana Pratap Chowk, MG Road in the city is likely to get government's approval in a week’s time. The move is expected after a high level meeting in Chandigarh, recently. The MCG had sent a detailed project report (DPR) for the government's approval three months ago that met some objections from the top brass.

BS Singroha, Chief Engineer, MCG, said that it is hoped the government's approval to the DPR in a week time. According to a source, the head office had pointed out some calculation errors in the DPR. They were regarding shifting of existing sewer and water pipelines electric cables, poles among others.

It is a three-layer (underpass-surface-flyover) and Rs 100 crore project, the Haryana government is keen on eliminating all minus points in a way to minimise risk factors and cost escalation, said the source. The project would help easing traffic flow between Iffco Chowk and Signature Tower and Northern Peripheral Road (NPR).
