To improve road safety and reduce traffic congestion, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has announced a major infrastructure upgrade along the Gurugram-Jaipur stretch of the Delhi-Jaipur Expressway. Under this project, nine new foot over bridges (FOBs) and four flyovers will be constructed at key points on the highway.
The Gurugram-Jaipur section is known for heavy traffic and frequent accidents, especially involving pedestrians. In response, the NHAI has taken the initiative to build FOBs at locations where pedestrians often cross the road, risking their lives.
Locations for the New Foot Over Bridges
A total of 9 foot over bridges will be installed. Each of these FOBs will have both stairs and ramps, making them accessible for all, including the elderly and differently-abled. These will be constructed at:
- Shikohpur
- Manesar (near NSG Camp)
- Binola
- Rathivas
- Malpura
- Jaisinghpurkheda
- Sidharawali
- Kharkhara
- Khajuri
Each foot over bridge is expected to cost around Rs.15 crores.
Four New Flyovers for Smoother Traffic
In addition to the FOBs, four flyovers will be built to ease vehicular movement and reduce bottlenecks on the highway. These will come up at:
- Pachgaon Chowk
- Rathivas
- Near Hero Company in Dharuheda
- Sahlawas
This entire infrastructure plan is part of a Rs.282 crore development project that also includes expansion of service roads and improvement of drainage systems along the expressway.
Officials hope this move will significantly lower the number of accidents, particularly those involving pedestrians crossing busy roads. The flyovers will help reduce traffic jams, especially in high-density areas like Manesar and Dharuheda. Once completed, this development is expected to make commuting safer and more efficient for thousands of daily travelers between Gurugram and Jaipur.
