GMDA Plans Elevated Roads To Ease Old Gurugram Traffic

06 Jan 2026 CW Team

Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority will construct three elevated roads to ease congestion and reduce traffic snarls in Old Gurugram, with the projects estimated to cost about Rs 14 billion, officials said on Thursday. The authority plans to float a tender next month to appoint a consultant for detailed planning and execution.

Under the proposal, one elevated corridor will run from Rajiv Chowk via Old Railway Station Road to Atul Kataria Chowk. The second will connect Atul Kataria Chowk to Dundahera near the Delhi–Gurugram border, while the third will link Maharana Pratap Chowk with IFFCO Chowk, officials said.

A senior GMDA official said directions to address congestion in Old Gurugram were recently issued by GMDA Chief Executive Officer P C Meena. The largest component of the plan is a 7.4 km-long flyover from Rajiv Chowk via Old Railway Road and Sheetla Mata Road to Atul Kataria Chowk, estimated to cost around Rs 7.5 billion.

The second elevated road, stretching about 5 km from Atul Kataria Chowk to Dundahera, is expected to cost roughly Rs 6.5 billion. Officials said this corridor will allow through-traffic between Delhi and Gurugram to use the elevated stretch, while local traffic continues to operate at ground level, improving overall traffic flow on the Old Delhi–Gurugram Road.

The third project involves a 1.4 km-long elevated road between Maharana Pratap Chowk and IFFCO Chowk at an estimated cost of Rs 1.4 billion. Officials said this stretch will help decongest MG Road, where a four-lane flyover already exists at Maharana Pratap Chowk.

Construction of the three elevated roads will be carried out in phases to minimise disruption, GMDA officials added.
