CHANDIGARH, SEPT 10
Union Road Transport and Highways Minister, Mr. Nitin Gadkari and Haryana Chief Minister, Mr. Manohar Lal, will visit Gurugram on September 11 to lay the foundation stones of three road projects, costing about Rs 1,005 crore. They will also address a public meeting at Tau Devi Lal Stadium.
This was stated by Public Works (Buildings and Roads) Minister, Rao Narbir Singh, who was reviewing the arrangements being made for the function at Gurgaon today.
The Minister said that with a view to tackle the issue of traffic congestion, repair work on three intersections on the National Highway namely IFFCO Chowk, Signature Tower and Rajeev Chowk, would be carried out, for which the foundation stones would be laid tomorrow. This work is likely to be completed by March, 2019.
He said that the execution of these projects would fulfil a long pending demand of the people of the area, which had been ignored by the previous governments.
Giving further details, he said that MG Road would be made signal-free, and U-turn flyover would be constructed for vehicles plying from Sukhrali and Sector 17-18 to Jaipur and Mehrauli. Similarly, U-turn flyover would be constructed for vehicles travelling from HUDA City Centre and Mehrauli to Delhi and Sukhrali. These flyovers would be about 18.5-metre wide. Right-turn underpass would be constructed for commuters travelling from HUDA City Centre to Mehrauli, and five-metre-wide subway would be constructed so that pedestrians could safely cross National Highway No.8 and MG Road. Apart from this, separate tracks would be laid alongside service roads for pedestrians and non-motorised vehicles such as bicycles. Apart from this, two foot overbridges with stairs and escalators would be installed in front of The Westin hotel from village Sukhrali, he added.
He said that work would be carried out to improve Signature Tower Chowk, where it has been proposed to construct a four-lane flyover at Maharana Pratap Chowk. A three-lane underpass would be constructed on HUDA City Centre-Gurgaon road to facilitate traffic light-free travel between Old Gurgaon and New Gurgaon. He said that the road between Maharana Pratap Choek and HUDA City Centre would be widened and strengthened, and service lane would be laid along both sides of National Highway No. 8. Two foot overbridges with stairs and escalators would be constructed at this intersection, along with cycle track and footpath.
He said that two-lane underpass would be constructed at Rajeev Chowk to make Gurgaon-Sohna Road signal-free. A six or eight-lane road would be constructed for left-in and left-out of traffic at the main intersection. Apart from this, two-lane right-turning underpass would be constructed from Medanta Hospital towards Delhi and underpass would be constructed for pedestrians and non-motorised vehicles so that they might cross Rajeev Chowk without any hindrance.
Earlier, the Minister visited village Gairatpur Baans and heard the grievances of the people. He also announced to build a ‘panchayat ghar’ and ordered Block Development and Panchayat Officer to remove encroachments.
