Factory relocates for key NH-8 link completion in Gurgaon

21 Jun 2024 CW Team

In a significant development, the long-pending project to complete a key link of National Highway 8 (NH-8) in Gurgaon is set to move forward. The project had faced delays due to a factory located on the required land. However, the factory has now been allotted alternative land to facilitate its relocation.

This link is crucial for easing traffic congestion on the busy highway, which serves as a vital artery connecting Delhi and Jaipur. The relocation of the factory will enable the completion of the road, which had been stalled for over a decade due to land acquisition issues.

Officials from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) have confirmed that the process of relocating the factory has commenced and is expected to be completed soon. Once the land is vacated, construction on the remaining stretch of the NH-8 link will resume, with an anticipated completion timeline of one year.

The completion of this link is expected to significantly reduce travel time and improve traffic flow in the region. Local residents and commuters have welcomed the move, expressing relief that the long-awaited project is finally seeing progress.

This development marks a critical step in addressing the infrastructural bottleneck and is poised to enhance connectivity and economic activities in the region. The successful relocation and completion of the NH-8 link will stand as a testament to effective problem-solving in large-scale infrastructure projects.
