GMDA is planning three new flyovers along the upcoming Gurugram metro corridor between Millennium City Centre and Bakhtawar Chowk to create a signal-free traffic stretch. The proposed structures are aimed at easing congestion at key intersections along Netaji Subhash Marg and improving connectivity towards Dwarka Expressway. The project forms part of a broader mobility strategy to accommodate future traffic growth linked to the under-construction metro network and rapidly developing residential and commercial areas across the city.
The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) is planning to construct three new flyovers along the upcoming metro corridor between Millennium City Centre Metro station and Bakhtawar Chowk as part of efforts to create a signal-free urban mobility corridor and ease traffic congestion across key sections of the city. The proposal was discussed during a recent review of traffic management requirements linked to the ongoing metro expansion project.
According to officials, the proposed flyovers will be located at the intersections of Sectors 44-45, Sectors 30-41 and Sectors 45-46 along Netaji Subhash Marg. The objective is to ensure uninterrupted vehicular movement on the corridor while accommodating anticipated increases in traffic generated by future metro stations and associated feeder services.
GMDA officials stated that the long-term plan is to make the entire route from Millennium City Centre Metro station to the Dwarka Expressway signal-free. The approximately 16-km stretch passes through several major junctions, including Bakhtawar Chowk, Subhash Chowk, Hero Honda Chowk, Umang Bhardwaj Chowk and Basai Chowk, which collectively serve as important connectivity points between residential sectors, business districts and regional transport corridors
The authority has asked Gurgaon Metro Rail Limited (GMRL) to examine the feasibility of constructing parallel grade separators alongside the metro alignment. Officials indicated that the proposal is being evaluated on the lines of infrastructure models adopted on the Dwarka Expressway, where elevated structures and grade-separated junctions facilitate uninterrupted traffic movement through major intersections.
The planned interventions are intended to address concerns that traffic congestion could intensify around future metro stations because of increased passenger movement, feeder traffic, parking demand and pick-up and drop-off activity. Authorities believe grade separation at strategic junctions would help prevent bottlenecks once metro operations commence.
The proposal complements other infrastructure works already planned or underway along the corridor. A flyover has been proposed at Bakhtawar Chowk, while grade-separation projects are also being considered at Umang Bhardwaj Chowk. Existing traffic infrastructure includes a flyover at Subhash Chowk and an underpass at Hero Honda Chowk, both of which currently handle substantial traffic volumes.
The initiative is part of GMDA’s wider strategy to improve urban mobility through elevated corridors, flyovers and underpasses across Gurugram. In recent weeks, the authority has also proposed several elevated road projects and additional grade-separated junctions to reduce congestion on major arterial roads and create signal-free routes across key growth corridors in the city.
Officials stated that detailed feasibility assessments and technical studies will be undertaken before finalising the design, alignment and implementation strategy for the proposed flyovers. The projects are expected to support both the metro network and the city’s broader transport infrastructure requirements as Gurugram continues to witness residential, commercial and infrastructure expansion.
