Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar inaugurated the Huda City Centre underpass, flyover and two-foot overbridges (FOB) built near the Signature Tower and Iffco Chowk on Friday. Meant to reduce traffic snarls at the Huda City Centre junction, the projects were opened to the public on the same day.
The underpass, built at a cost of Rs 52.52 crore, is 750m long and will pave the way for a seamless commute from the Signature Tower to Subhash Chowk, while the 269.5-metre-long flyover will improve connectivity between Hussain Marg and the sector road.
“This is another achievement and a proud milestone for Gurugram. The Huda City Centre is one of the busiest and most important traffic junctions of the city which sees heavy vehicle flow and pedestrian movement.The new underpass and flyover will facilitate a smooth traffic stream at this critical location and eradicate traffic congestion and jams," Khattar said. The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) official said the underpass has two lanes designed for vehicular speed of 40 kmph. "The underpass and the flyover will reduce the movement of vehicles and there will be less congestion. A FOB will also provide for smooth movement of pedestrians,” he said. Khattar also inaugurated the water supply distribution network of Zone-8 from Sector 111 to Sector 115 in Gurugram. The project which cost approximately Rs 10 crore will by 2031 provide safe drinking water to over 93,000 residents in area.
Under the new water supply project a drinking water supply pipeline of 8,429 meters has been laid and families in these sectors who were dependent on sourcing water from tankers will now have access to cleaner and pure drinking water.
