The Faridabad Metropolitan Development Authority (FMDA) has initiated the tender process for an elevated flyover project costing Rs. 7.54 bn. The route will link Sainik Colony Chowk in the NIT area with Greater Faridabad, with construction scheduled for completion within 900 days. The project forms part of the East-West connectivity plan, according to a report by Live Hindustan-NCR. The proposed connection is intended to improve movement between NIT Faridabad and Greater Faridabad, where more than 50,000 people travel daily for work, business and other purposes. There is currently no direct road link between the edge of Sainik Colony and Greater Faridabad, while the National Highway and railway lines divide NIT, Sector 12 and the newer residential districts. Commuters travelling from NIT towards Sector 12 or Old Faridabad generally use the Neelam, Bata and NHPC railway overbridges. They then cross an underpass on the National Highway and continue towards Sector 12 and the bypass before crossing the Agra Canal to reach Greater Faridabad. The multiple junctions and crossings contribute to congestion along the existing route. The planned works include an elevated road, a slip road near the Bata railway overbridge and an underpass near the Khatu Shyam temple. The slip road will descend towards the National Highway and rise towards the Neelam bridge. The project is also planned to include seven flyovers and underpasses at different locations. The identified structures include a flyover over Badkhal village, another between the Sainik Colony turn and Badkhal Road after the Gurugram Road approach, and a third structure alongside the lake through Badkhal village. A fourth is planned at Ankhir Chowk to connect the Ankhir-Gurugram route with Gurugram-Faridabad Road and the highway towards Greater Faridabad. Rapid residential development has increased travel demand, and the completed route is expected to ease pressure on existing roads. FMDA has begun the tender process, but no deadline, contractor selection date or construction start date has been provided.
