Two new foot overbridges (FOBs) are in the design phase for Golf Course Road, a high-traffic corridor that has long been vulnerable to pedestrian accidents. Detailed drawings of the structures are expected to be submitted to the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) within a month.

The project, undertaken by the DLF Foundation as part of its CSR efforts, aims to offer safer pedestrian access on the busy stretch. One of the proposed bridges is likely to come up near La Lagune, while the second is being planned in the Paras Downtown area. The La Lagune site was not part of the original plan, which had earlier marked the Times Centre as a FOB location.

GMDA officials said they have not yet received the detailed proposals. “No drawings have been submitted so far. Once we get them, the project will proceed only after thorough technical evaluation,” an official confirmed.

Golf Course Road has seen multiple proposals for pedestrian bridges in recent years. One of the planned FOBs, relocated from the MPD Tower area because of encroachment, was eventually constructed at Chakkarpur and opened to the public in November last year.

Originally proposed in 2020, GMDA had planned to build five FOBs along the stretch. However, one of them, near the Vipal Belmonte complex, was dropped after residents objected to the structure. The metropolitan authority later granted in-principle approval for four locations: Bristol Chowk, Times Centre, MPD Tower, and Paras Downtown. With the MPD Tower site no longer feasible, its replacement at Chakkarpur became the first to be completed.

The upcoming FOBs are expected to reduce jaywalking and improve overall road safety, especially at intersections that witness heavy vehicular movement throughout the day.
