Gurgaon: The long-pending flyover project at Ambedkar Chowk may finally take off, with GMDA floating a tender for its construction to ease congestion at one of the city’s busy intersections. The project, which received administrative approval in July 2024, will cost about Rs 32 crore. It has a deadline of two years once the construction begins.The flyover will be 900 meters long and have four lanes. It will move traffic from Ardee City towards Sohna Road and vice versa smoothly through the junction.Two-lane service roads will be built on both sides to maintain local connectivity and improve access to nearby residential and commercial areas. The project will also include drainage infrastructure, footpaths, pedestrian facilities and road safety measures such as crash barriers, traffic signage and road markings.Officials said the flyover will benefit commuters traveling through sectors 45, 46, 51 and 52. The CEO of GMDA, PC Meena, said, “Gurgaon is witnessing rapid urban growth and increasing traffic demand. The proposed flyover at Ambedkar Chowk will help improve connectivity and ensure smoother traffic movement in the city.”The junction witnesses heavy vehicular movement due to the presence of residential societies such as Ardee City and Mayfield Garden nearby. Commuters from Malibu Towne and South City-2, along with those traveling toward Park Hospital, also frequently use the stretch. Schools, hospitals and commercial establishments in the area further add to traffic during peak hours.The flyover is part of a series of mobility projects planned by GMDA. The authority recently floated a tender for a flyover at Dadi Sati Chowk and is also planning an underpass near Millennium City Center Metro station to reduce congestion at another major traffic junction.
