New Bridge to Be Built on Gurgaon-Jhajjar Road in Haryana

30 Jan 2025 CW Team

A new parallel bridge is set to be constructed on the Gurgaon-Jhajjar Road in Dhankot, Haryana, as part of efforts to ease the growing traffic congestion in the region. The current bridge, which is a single-lane structure, has become increasingly insufficient to accommodate the rising volume of vehicles. With the surge in traffic, particularly due to the expansion of surrounding sectors, the existing bridge has been unable to meet the demands of commuters.

The construction of the new bridge is aimed at increasing the road’s capacity to handle the heavy traffic flow. The route, which connects Shyam Baba Chowk to the Dwarka Expressway, has become a crucial corridor for people traveling between Gurgaon and Jhajjar. As more sectors develop in the region, the strain on this key road has intensified, leading to frequent traffic jams.

Local authorities are working collaboratively to address these traffic-related issues. The Deputy Commissioner of the region, Ajay Kumar, emphasized the necessity of the new bridge to improve traffic management and road capacity. Additionally, recent efforts have been focused on alleviating waterlogging problems in the city, which has affected around 90 locations. While this issue has caused significant disruptions, most of the waterlogging problems have already been resolved through coordinated actions by the Public Works Department (PWD), the Gurgaon Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA), and municipal authorities. The completion of the new bridge and the resolution of waterlogging concerns are expected to improve the overall infrastructure and ease the daily commute for residents and travellers in the area.
