14-km Road Upgrade to Ease Traffic in Old Gurugram, Says GMDA

The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has announced a major infrastructure upgrade that is expected to transform traffic flow in Old Gurugram. According to a report by Hindustan Times, a 14-km-long road link connecting IFFCO Chowk to the Dwarka Expressway via Basai Road is set to be revamped to reduce congestion in one of the city’s busiest areas.

This crucial stretch currently runs from IFFCO Chowk in Sukhrali Village, through Mahavir Chowk, Sadar Bazar, Gurudwara Road, Bhuteshwar Mandir intersection, and onto Basai Road, eventually connecting to the Dwarka Expressway via the Basai flyover.

Several construction works are planned under the project, including road resurfacing, removal of illegal encroachments, and widening of key segments. As per the HT report, the GMDA has already conducted a detailed traffic analysis and survey of the area.

A GMDA official told, “This stretch is in the heart of Old Gurugram, and we have decided to relay the road and build a surface drainage system along the entire length to prevent waterlogging.”

Although earlier plans included the addition of flyovers and further expansion, those were dropped due to space limitations. The current focus is on improving the existing road alignment.

The project will start from Basai and eventually extend toward Bhuteshwar Mandir. The route will connect Jail Land, Mahavir Chowk, and MG Road before concluding at IFFCO Chowk. A comprehensive cost estimate is expected within a month, after which construction will begin. Once completed, the GMDA anticipates smoother traffic flow and better connectivity between Old Gurugram and Dwarka Expressway, eliminating major traffic bottlenecks in the process.
