GMDA Explores 16 Kilometre Elevated Road To Ease Old Gurgaon Traffic

The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) is studying a 16 kilometre (km) elevated road network aimed at addressing long-standing congestion in Old Gurgaon. The proposal, which is under preliminary consideration, seeks to provide a dedicated corridor to bypass narrow surface streets and to improve traffic flow across key arterial routes. The authority has commissioned surveys and traffic modelling to evaluate alignment options and to identify interchange points with existing roads.

Officials said the elevated network would be designed to reduce bottlenecks while maintaining access for local residents and businesses, and to integrate with public transport nodes where feasible. Planners are exploring options that balance capacity enhancement with minimal land acquisition and limited disruption to heritage precincts and community spaces. Environmental and traffic impact assessments are expected to inform final design choices and mitigation measures.

Stakeholder consultations are planned with municipal agencies, utility providers and local associations to refine the scheme and to address concerns related to pedestrian safety and last mile connectivity. The elevated alignment is envisaged to connect congested sectors and to create grade separations at critical junctions, thereby improving consistency of travel speeds along the corridor. Officials indicated that detailed project reports and cost estimates will follow once the study concludes.

The authority emphasised that any move to build elevated infrastructure will consider long term urban mobility objectives and street level livability in Old Gurgaon. Decisions on funding and implementation timelines will be coordinated with state and local bodies while preserving existing urban fabric as far as possible. The study represents an early step in efforts to offer sustainable relief to commuters enduring chronic traffic daily in the area.
