Dwarka Expressway Opening in February
Dwarka Expressway Opening in February, Deputy Commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav shared that the long-awaited Dwarka Expressway’s Gurgaon sector is poised to become operational in February. Despite awaiting a formal response from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), the Haryana government has taken proactive steps by officially expressing the intent to open the segment. With 99% of the work completed, officials are optimistic about a swift opening, with only finishing touches remaining.
Expressway Division and Completion Targets
The Dwarka Expressway is strategically divided into four packages, with the Gurgaon section playing a crucial role, featuring elements like the cloverleaf interchange that links the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway (NH-48) and the Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) near Kherki Daula. NHAI officials, despite previous deadlines, now envision completing the project by the end of October, underscoring the imminent finalization of the Gurgaon segment.
Upcoming Infrastructure Projects for 2024 in Gurgaon
Deputy Commissioner Yadav has presented a comprehensive overview of key infrastructure initiatives scheduled for 2024. Noteworthy among these is the Rs 136 crore drainage project, aiming to construct a new drain from Vatika Chowk to SPR. This endeavor aims to mitigate waterlogging challenges along the Delhi-Gurgaon-Jaipur National Highway and sectors 15 to 20. Additionally, significant progress is being made in the development of Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) and Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTP) in Dhanwapur and Chandu villages, with a designated budget of Rs 250 crore.
Metro Expansion and Other Developmental Strides
The establishment of the Haryana Metro Rail Corporation (HMRC), modeled after the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), marks a significant step forward in the expansion of the Metro project in Old Gurugram. Anticipated to commence by the year’s end, this initiative aligns with continuous efforts to enhance urban connectivity and fortify transportation infrastructure in the region.
Anticipated Progress in Gurugram’s Infrastructure
As the Gurgaon segment of the Dwarka Expressway approaches its final stages of completion and various infrastructure projects unfold, Gurugram is poised for substantial advancements in transportation and connectivity. These developments solidify its standing as a pivotal hub within the National Capital Region (NCR).
