Gurugram Rewari Highway Project to Ease Traffic by March 2025

30 Jul 2024 CW Team

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has announced plans to complete a critical flyover on the Gurugram Rewari Highway by March 2025, aiming to streamline high-speed traffic from Delhi on the Dwarka Expressway onto the Rewari Pataudi Highway. Project director Yogesh Tilak confirmed that while the highway is expected to be operational by December this year, the flyover's construction is delayed due to the need to relocate an overhead high-tension power line, which will take approximately three to four months.

The unidirectional flyover, featuring two lanes and measuring 11 meters in width, is part of the larger ?9 billion Gurugram Rewari highway project, under construction since 2020. The project has faced delays due to issues like tree cutting, land-related litigation, and removal of encroachments, but most of these challenges have now been resolved. Commuters will need to take a U-turn at the intersection of Gurugram Pataudi road and Dwarka expressway until the flyover is completed.

Tilak assured that efforts would be made to minimize traffic disruptions during the construction phase. Additional infrastructure improvements, such as the proposed elevated road on Southern Peripheral Road and a newly constructed underpass near Basai on the Dwarka Expressway, are expected to enhance traffic flow in Gurugram?s developing sectors and improve connectivity to neighboring towns like Farukhnagar, Pataudi, Rewari, and Sohna.

Completion of this flyover is anticipated to significantly ease traffic congestion and improve travel times for commuters, reinforcing the region's infrastructure development.
