GMDA Plans 33 Access Points on Netaji Subash Road to Ease Snarls

23 Feb 2026 CW Team

The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has unveiled a plan to create 33 access points on Netaji Subash Road to ease longstanding traffic snarls. The scheme is intended to improve traffic flow, reduce travel times and enhance last mile connectivity along a heavily used urban corridor. The authority framed the proposal following assessments and consultations and said the design will prioritise pedestrian safety and smoother vehicular movement.

The proposed access points will be distributed along the road to provide additional entry and exit options for local roads, commercial hubs and residential precincts. Authorities anticipate that dispersed access will redistribute traffic volumes, limit bottlenecks at major intersections and facilitate emergency vehicle movement. The plan will integrate improved signage, controlled entry arrangements and upgrades to footpaths and crossings to support non motorised users and public transport access.

Implementation will require close coordination with municipal agencies, the traffic police and utility departments to manage work sequencing and minimise disruption. Traffic management measures during construction will be essential to maintain flow and ensure commuter safety, with phased execution intended to limit peak hour impact. Funding sources and precise timelines were not specified in initial communications, while technical designs are expected to be finalised before detailed tendering.

If executed as envisaged, the scheme could reduce congestion on the corridor, shorten journey times and improve accessibility for businesses and residents along Netaji Subash Road. Local stakeholders will be able to review detailed designs during public consultations and the authority plans to monitor traffic patterns after implementation to measure benefits. The initiative aligns with wider urban mobility efforts in the region to enhance connectivity and manage growing travel demand.
