The Haryana government has proposed a 33 km six-lane road corridor aimed at improving connectivity between Gurugram and Jhajjar and easing traffic movement in the region. The project will run from the Harsaru bypass on the Gurugram Pataudi Road near Wazirpur on NH-352W and connect to Jhajjar on NH-352. The plan also includes a bypass around Farrukhnagar to divert through-traffic away from the town. Authorities have started the process of appointing a consultant to prepare the detailed project report, which will assess alignment, feasibility, environmental aspects and estimated costs for the corridor.
The Haryana government has announced plans to develop a 33 km six-lane road corridor that will strengthen connectivity between Gurugram and Jhajjar. The proposal was presented as part of the state budget, where Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini indicated that the corridor would provide a faster road link between the two districts and improve regional transport connectivity in southern Haryana.

The proposed highway will begin at the Harsaru bypass on the Gurugram Pataudi Road near Wazirpur, located on National Highway 352W, and will extend up to Jhajjar on National Highway 352. The alignment is being planned to provide a more direct route between the two areas, which currently depend on smaller roads and state highways that often face congestion and slower travel speeds.
A key component of the project is the construction of a bypass around Farrukhnagar town. This bypass is intended to divert through-traffic away from the town centre, where narrow roads and local traffic currently create delays for vehicles travelling between Gurugram and Jhajjar. By routing long-distance traffic outside the town, authorities expect smoother movement and reduced congestion within Farrukhnagar.
To move the project forward, the state government has initiated the process of appointing a consultant to prepare the detailed project report (DPR). The DPR will assess the technical feasibility of the project, examine possible alignments for the corridor and the Farrukhnagar bypass, and estimate the overall cost. It will also study environmental aspects and land requirements before the final route and project structure are approved.
Officials said the corridor is expected to improve connectivity not only between Gurugram and Jhajjar but also between several nearby industrial and residential areas that rely on road transport. The region has witnessed significant growth in housing, logistics hubs and industrial activity over the past decade, increasing traffic volumes on existing roads.
At present, commuters and freight vehicles travelling between Gurugram and Jhajjar rely on a combination of local roads and sections of National Highway 352W. These routes pass through multiple settlements and intersections, which often slows down travel during peak hours. The proposed six-lane corridor is expected to provide a more efficient route, particularly for commercial vehicles and long-distance traffic moving towards western Haryana.
The project also comes at a time when road infrastructure around Gurugram is undergoing multiple upgrades to support rapid urban growth. One such project is the widening and strengthening of the Gurugram Pataudi Rewari highway stretch of NH-352W, which is being upgraded at an estimated cost of around INR 900 crore. Improvements on this route are expected to complement the proposed Gurugram Jhajjar corridor and create stronger road connectivity across the region.
In recent years, the Haryana government has taken several steps to improve road links connecting Gurugram with surrounding towns and districts. Projects such as the Sohna Elevated Corridor, completed at a cost of about INR 1,466 crore, have already helped reduce travel time between Gurugram and Sohna while easing traffic pressure on older roads.
Officials indicated that once the proposed corridor is developed, it could also improve connectivity between highways linked to the Dwarka Expressway region and western parts of Haryana. This would benefit both daily commuters and freight movement between industrial clusters, logistics parks and residential areas located around Gurugram, Jhajjar and neighbouring districts.
