Rs 2.82 Billion Approved for NH-48 Flyovers, Footbridges

01 Sep 2025 CW Team

The planned flyovers will be built at Panchgaon Chowk, Rathiwas, near the Hero Company, and Sahlawas. The nine foot overbridges will be constructed at Shikhopur, Manesar, Binola, Rathiwas, Malpura, Jaisinghpurkhera, Sidhrawali, Kharkhara, and Khijuri. These structures will include staircases, ramps, and lighting to ensure pedestrian safety and accessibility. Additional civil and engineering works are also part of the project to enable smoother vehicular flow.

Strategic National Development

This project is part of a broader national strategy to expand and modernise India’s highway infrastructure. Since 2014, the country’s national highways have expanded from 91,000 km to over 146,000 km, making it the second-largest network in the world. High-speed corridors have grown from 93 km to 2,474 km, while four-lane and above roads have increased 2.5 times over the past decade.

Highway construction has accelerated significantly, reaching 33.8 km per day in FY 2023–24, up from 12.1 km per day in 2014–15. This progress is attributed to increased government spending and focused allocations towards critical infrastructure.

Regional Impact and Urban Mobility

Officials expect the NH-48 upgrades to substantially improve traffic conditions in Gurugram, Rewari, and nearby districts. The new flyovers will reduce bottlenecks at high-traffic junctions, while footbridges will make crossing safer for pedestrians.

In the broader Delhi-NCR region, related infrastructure projects include the Delhi–Amritsar–Katra and Delhi–Dehradun expressways, UER-II extensions, and elevated corridors. Already, projects covering 1,679 km worth Rs 80.55 billion have been completed, strengthening India’s urban infrastructure and economic resilience.

Experts emphasise that such strategic investments not only support regional trade but also raise the quality of life through improved urban design, mobility, and road safety. The Gurugram–Jaipur NH-48 project is anticipated to become a model for integrating efficient traffic management with sustainable urban planning.

Gurugram’s section of National Highway 48 is set for a significant infrastructure upgrade, with the Central Government approving Rs 2.82 billion for the construction of four flyovers and nine foot overbridges along the Gurgaon–Kotputli–Jaipur corridor. This initiative aims to ease congestion, improve commuter safety, and boost regional connectivity, according to officials.The planned flyovers will be built at Panchgaon Chowk, Rathiwas, near the Hero Company, and Sahlawas.
