• Residents of Vatika India Next and nearby sectors continue to face a nearly seven-kilometre detour to access the Dwarka Expressway due to two incomplete road links.
• The missing connections are linked to land acquisition, right-of-way constraints and pending infrastructure works across sectors in New Gurugram.
• GMDA records show that one link could not proceed because land was not handed over, while another required realignment owing to site constraints.
Residents of Vatika India Next and adjoining residential sectors in New Gurugram continue to face a circuitous route to reach the Dwarka Expressway, with two incomplete road links forcing motorists to take an additional detour of nearly seven kilometres despite years of planned infrastructure works.
According to reports and official records, the missing connections form part of a wider programme undertaken by the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) to construct road links between developing sectors in the city. While several stretches have progressed, key gaps in the network remain unresolved, affecting daily commuting for residents and increasing travel time to major arterial roads.
GMDA documents show that work on multiple missing links was sanctioned under a project covering sectors 81/82, 81/86, 92/95 and adjoining areas. However, progress on certain stretches has been hindered by land-related issues and alignment constraints. The authority recorded that construction on the Sector 92/95 missing link could not begin because the required land had not been handed over, preventing execution of the planned road connection.
The records further indicate that another missing link in Sector 81/86 encountered difficulties because part of the original alignment passed through an unacquired parcel of land associated with a private industrial property. GMDA engineers proposed a revised alignment within the available right of way to maintain the full carriageway width and ensure continuity of the road network. The modification was estimated to require additional expenditure but was considered necessary to facilitate traffic movement and public convenience.
Officials noted that several other missing links under the same package were either under construction or being executed through separate infrastructure programmes. However, the unresolved stretches continue to affect connectivity between residential sectors and major transport corridors.
The issue has assumed greater significance as residential occupancy in New Gurugram has increased over the years. Residents have argued that despite the proximity of the Dwarka Expressway, incomplete internal road connections force them to use longer routes, adding to fuel costs, travel time and peak-hour congestion.
GMDA records show that alternative solutions, including realignment of road sections and substitution of one pending link with another where land was available, were examined to overcome implementation hurdles. The authority has maintained that completion of the missing links is necessary to improve network continuity and provide more direct access between residential sectors and regional transport infrastructure.
