The Haryana government has approved a proposal by real estate major DLF to construct a three-lane flyover from Ambience Mall to Cyber City and a three-lane underpass from Moulsari Avenue towards Delhi underneath the Delhi Gurgaon Expressway, a senior GMDA official said on Wednesday.
A senior DLF official, when asked about the development, confirmed the approval and said the proposed structures will help reduce congestion on the busy stretch. “The DLF proposal to build a flyover and underpass has been approved by the Haryana government. “We first plan to construct the three-lane flyover from Ambience Mall to Cyber City. The proposed flyover will run parallel to the existing flyover on the highway and above the service road. The second structure is a three-lane underpass proposed from Moulsari Avenue towards Delhi. A traffic study of the stretch between Ambience Mall and Cyber City, submitted to GMDA and the state government as part of the proposal, highlighted the congestion levels on the corridor and the need for grade separation. The Haryana government’s approval now clears the proposal for the two structures, while DLF plans to begin with the flyover before taking up the underpass.
The entire expenditure on these two structures, which is expected to be around ₹ 130 crore to ₹ 140 crore, will be borne by the company. The study was conducted over 15 days in August last year by a private consultant on behalf of DLF, a DLF official said.
We will issue a letter of approval in this regard soon,” said a senior GMDA official, asking not to be named. Construction of the underpass will be taken up later,” he said, adding that they have already got approval for the project from the NHAI. Vehicles using the underpass near Ambience Mall will also be able to take the flyover towards Cyber City and Iffco Chowk, according to the proposal. It will pass underneath the expressway and allow vehicles to join Delhi-bound traffic in the middle lanes, thereby avoiding conflicts with other traffic, according to the proposal.
The proposal was submitted to the Haryana government through GMDA last year.
The two structures, proposed to decongest the Delhi Gurgaon Expressway at Shankar Chowk, are expected to cost around ₹ 130 crore to ₹ 140 crore, with DLF set to bear the entire expenditure, a senior DLF official said. The company plans to construct the flyover first, while work on the underpass will be taken up later.The work is expected to be completed within one year of the project being awarded.
The exact start and completion dates will be finalised once the tender is floated, officials said.
