NHAI Plans Partial Opening of Gurgaon-Pataudi-Rewari Road in Mid-February

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is set to open a major portion of the Gurgaon-Pataudi-Rewari highway to traffic by mid-February, offering long-awaited relief to commuters along the busy corridor. However, key structures such as a railway overbridge (RoB) near Pahari village will remain incomplete for now.

Officials said the highway would be made operational excluding the RoB and a few other pending structures, primarily to reduce commuter inconvenience. While most of the project is now nearing completion, full finishing- apart from the RoB, is targeted for March. The railway overbridge is expected to be ready by June.

Once operational, the highway is expected to enhance connectivity between Gurgaon, southern Haryana and Rajasthan, while easing pressure on the congested Delhi-Jaipur Expressway. It will also serve as an alternate route for industrial hubs in Manesar, Bilaspur and Dharuhera, improving traffic movement for both daily commuters and freight vehicles.

The project, estimated at Rs.900 crore, was inaugurated in July 2020 by Union minister Nitin Gadkari. Although it was initially slated for completion by December 2022, construction began in November 2021 following revisions to the timeline.

According to NHAI, delays at the RoB occurred due to late approvals from the railways for girder launching. Another bottleneck is the flyover at the Dwarka Expressway Gurgaon junction, where construction has been slowed by the presence of a 400 kV high-tension power line awaiting relocation. Delays in permissions and utility shifting have led to repeated deadline extensions.
