Gurugram: The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has floated a tender for the construction, maintenance, management and operation of a major elevated corridor along the Southern Peripheral Road (SPR). The project, estimated to cost around Rs 755 crore, aims to transform the busy stretch between Vatika Chowk and NH‑48 into a signal-free corridor, significantly improving traffic flow and connectivity in Gurugram.
The proposed project will upgrade the SPR into a high-capacity signal-free road corridor to address rising traffic congestion caused by rapid urban development in the region. The initiative is expected to ease bottlenecks, improve travel time and create a smoother commuting experience, particularly during peak hours.
According to officials, the project includes the development of a 4.2-km-long elevated corridor featuring four lanes on each side (4+4). In addition, the design provides for 3+3 lane primary service roads and 2+2 lane secondary service lanes at the ground level. Two-lane up and down ramps will also be constructed at key intersections to facilitate smooth entry and exit of vehicles along the corridor.
An important component of the project will be the construction of a dedicated interchange at NH-48 to ensure seamless connectivity with the national highway network. Meanwhile, an interchange at Vatika Chowk has been proposed under Phase-II of the project, which will further strengthen connectivity with the Gurugram–Sohna Elevated Corridor.
GMDA CEO P. C. Meena said that Gurugram is witnessing rapid urban expansion and developing high-capacity road infrastructure remains a priority to meet the city’s growing mobility demands. He added that the proposed corridor will benefit residents of several emerging residential and commercial sectors located along the SPR stretch.
SPR has emerged as a key east-west mobility corridor connecting several residential sectors with major highways and arterial roads. With increasing development along this route, the demand for efficient traffic management has grown significantly.
Once completed, the corridor will provide high-speed connectivity between the Dwarka Expressway, NH-48 and the Gurugram-Sohna Elevated Corridor. The project is also expected to reduce traffic pressure at major junctions such as Vatika Chowk and Subhash Chowk.
Currently, commuters travelling from Dwarka Expressway or southern Gurugram towards Sohna or Faridabad often have to pass through congested city routes via Rajiv Chowk or Subhash Chowk. The proposed elevated corridor will provide a direct alternative route, reducing travel time and easing congestion across the city.
Officials said the project is expected to be completed within 30 months from the date of award.
