Two underpasses okayed for Sohna Road, says PWD Minister Rao Narbir

In another push to road infrastructure in Gurugram, the Union transport ministry given in-principal approval to the construction of two new underpasses on Sohna Road, said state PWD minister Rao Narbir Singh on Thursday.

One of the underpasses will be built at Vatika Chowk and another at Islampur village near Subhash Chowk to facilitate the movement of vehicles and people across these busy intersections on Sohna Road.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), which will be building these two underpasses, is also constructing the 4.7-km-long Sohna Elevated Road from Subash Chowk to Badshahpur village and is also doing the expansion work of this road up to Sohna town at the cost of Rs1,300 crore.

The minister said that underpass at Vatika Chowk will also help in ensuring that Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) becomes signal-free, a project which is already under consideration of the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA).
