New High-Speed Corridor to Cut Delhi-Gurugram Travel Time

Fed up with long traffic jams between Delhi and Gurugram? Relief may be near as plans for a new high-speed corridor are underway, set to drastically reduce travel time between the two cities. What currently takes over an hour on congested routes such as NH-48 or MG Road could soon be shortened to just 25 to 30 minutes.
A direct link originating from either Gyarah Murti or Talkatora Stadium to Gurugram is being explored as part of two key proposals designed to ease traffic congestion in Lutyens’ Delhi and Central Delhi, according to government sources.
The concept was discussed at a meeting in June chaired by Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, and senior officials. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) was tasked with preparing a detailed plan to address the traffic challenges.
The second proposal involves a major elevated corridor or tunnel intended to connect the Delhi-Meerut Expressway with the proposed elevated route from AIIMS to the Mahipalpur Bypass. This development is expected to alleviate congestion on the Ring Road and the Mehrauli-Gurugram stretch, officials noted.
Central to the plan is a 20-kilometre elevated corridor from AIIMS to the Mahipalpur Bypass, designed to serve as an alternative to NH-48, offering smoother and faster transit for commuters.
