Inspecting the ongoing construction work at Atul Kataria Chowk in Gurugram, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Wednesday asked the offices concerned to complete all the developmental projects on time.
Taking public convenience into account, Khattar ordered the opening of the 731-meter-long 4 lane flyover built on Old Delhi Road along with the service roads for the commuters to facilitate better traffic flow and connectivity. Formal inauguration of the project will be done afterwards, he added.
The Chief Minister said that ever since the BJP government came to power in Haryana, due care and attention is being given to Gurugram. Flyovers and underpasses, elevated roads had been constructed to ease traffic congestion on roads here and provide relief to commuters. “Work at some places is still going on which will further ease out congestion, after all Gurugram is ‘our Icon City, we need to take care of it, development works are going on here at full swing’, '' said Khattar.
He added that “Atul Kataria Chowk is amongst the busiest junctions of Gurugram city which sees a heavy flow of traffic on a daily basis. The flyover has now been opened for commuters and will offer greater connectivity between Delhi to Gurugram via Kapashera border. The service roads have also been opened for public use. The opening of both pathways of the flyover and service roads will help in curbing traffic congestion which was earlier experienced on this intersection.”
He also reviewed the ongoing construction work on the 1.094-kilometer, 4 lane bi-directional underpass being constructed on road from Sheetla Mata Mandir towards Maharana Pratap Chowk. While work on the stretch towards Maharana Pratap side is complete and construction on approach towards Sheetla Mata Mandir is in progress. Shifting of the master storm water drain from the underpass to the service road portion towards Sheetla Mandir, and the construction of the roof slab and wall of the underpass are meanwhile completed. The Chief Minister directed the team to complete all remaining work of the underpass by October 2.
