Gurgaon Gets New Pedestrian Subway at Shankar Chowk

The newly built pedestrian underpass at Shankar Chowk, designed to link both sides of the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway, was opened for a traffic trial on Thursday, 4th Nov. 2025. Developed by the DLF Foundation, the subway provides a safer crossing between Udyog Vihar and the National Media Centre, an area that previously required pedestrians and cyclists to navigate the busy expressway at ground level.

According to officials from DLF, the underpass is expected to significantly reduce the risk of accidents, as Shankar Chowk experiences heavy traffic throughout the day. The facility aims to streamline movement for commuters who regularly travel between the two commercial hubs.

In addition to the completed subway, DLF has submitted a proposal to the Haryana government seeking approval for another underpass from Moulsari Avenue Road to the Delhi-bound side of the highway. This project is intended to ease congestion near Shankar Chowk, one of the city’s busiest intersections.

The developer has also proposed the construction of three more underpasses to improve connectivity between its upcoming projects- DLF Downtown and DLF Mall of India, and Moulsari Avenue Road. These planned routes would enable smoother movement of vehicles towards both Gurugram and Delhi, helping decongest surface traffic and enhance access to the new commercial and retail developments.
