Gurgaon's Rajiv Chowk to get three underpasses

The busiest traffic junction of Gurgaon, Rajiv Chowk, is set to get some respite. The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) is planning to construct three underpasses to ease congestion and improve intra-city movement.   

During peak hours, it can take 20-25 minutes to cross the junction. The 1.5-km-long underpasses are expected to reduce this time significantly.

The first underpass will be built from Air Force Station on Sohna Road to District Court, easing traffic coming from Sohna Road towards Sadar Bazar. Another underpass will be constructed from Bakhtawar Singh Road near Medanta Hospital to entry no 12 of Delhi- Gurgaon Expressway. This will improve travel for commuters going towards Jaipur from the side of Medanta Hospital -- they wouldn't need to enter the junction at all. The third one will be dug  near the District Court till Tau Devi Lal Stadium.

The residents have unanimously welcomed the move.

RWA president of Uniworld on Sohna Road, SK Jain, said, "I am very happy with the decision. It will certainly decongest the traffic at Rajiv Chowk, and ensure speedier travel for commuters."

Agreed HB Chawla, RWA president of Aabhash Apartment in Sector 56. He has business in Noida, and said, "If you look at the infrastructure, Noida is far better than Gurgaon. But after this decision, I believe Gurgaon will not be too far behind Noida. The residents are extremely happy."

Sanjay Sharma of Apna Enclave has to commute daily between Railway Station to Huda City Centre. His travel time will come down considerably once the underpasses are constructed. He said, "I use this junction daily, so you can well imagine how happy I am. This is convenient for the residents of both the old and the new city. I am extremely thankful to the NHAI for thinking about us."
