In order to decongest the commute from Rajiv Chowk to Sohna in Gurugram, the elevated six-lane highway on National Highway 248A was opened on a trial basis to traffic today.
With the portion between Badshahpur and Sohna already opened on April 1, the entire 25-km stretch is now accessible. The project will ease travel between Gurugram, Sohna and Alwar, and will also link the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway.
Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, said that the opening of this 25-km stretch will facilitate the commuters, and save fuel and time.
"The project has been developed to 6 Lane access-controlled corridor with aggregate elevated section of about 7 km at a capital investment of about Rs 2000 crore," he tweeted.
"For facilitating movement of local traffic, 3 Lane service roads have been constructed on both sides. The highway is being opened for traffic today. This section would also provide connectivity to Delhi and Gurgaon through Delhi-Mumbai expressway," Gadkari said in another tweet.
The construction work for this entire project was scheduled to be completed within 30 months.
