To connect the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway with the under-construction Dwarka Expressway, the construction of an underpass and flyover near Shivmurti Chowk in Mahipalpur, Delhi is going on at a fast pace. From Tuesday, March 14, the construction work of underpass from below and flyover from above will be started simultaneously from Delhi-Gurugram Expressway.

For this, about 500 meters of the expressway will be closed for the next three months. Traffic police officers and NH-48 administration can jointly conduct a trial of closure tomorrow, March 14, so that traffic is not affected. At the same time, if there is more problem, then the traffic route can also be changed. A four-lane road has been constructed near Shivmurti.

More than 75 thousand vehicles go daily from Delhi to Gurugram on NH-48. Dwarka Express flyover is to be built at Shiv Murti Chowk. Traffic will be diverted above it. Trial will be done before diverting traffic. On diverting, the speed of the vehicles reduces considerably. Because of this, there is a possibility of increasing the traffic pressure in Delhi to Gurugram area.

In view of this, NHAI appeals to the people to take alternate routes during peak hours. This will not increase the traffic pressure. During peak hours i.e. from 8 am to 11 am and from 5 pm to 9 pm there is heavy traffic on both sides from Shankar Chowk in Gurugram to Mahipalpur in Delhi.

Dwarka Expressway is being constructed at a cost of about thousand crores near Shivmurti near Mahipalpur in Delhi. Vehicles coming from Delhi side should take the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway above and the Dwarka Expressway below. For this, flyovers and underpasses are being constructed. NHAI’s project director construction sources say that in three months the construction of the underpass under the expressway and the flyover above will be completed.

Delhi Traffic Police is making people aware that

– come from Gurugram to Delhi via Aya Nagar border or Kapashera border.
– Enter Gurugram from Aya Nagar or Kapashera border.
To reach Palam airport, enter Delhi from Kapashera border.
To reach Palam airport from Faridabad, come from Dhaulakuan side and while leaving home or office, leave only after taking traffic information.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is planning to close a 500-metre stretch to facilitate the construction of a flyover and two underpasses on this expressway. Due to this, the possibility of traffic jam on the road has increased. According to NHAI officials, one underpass will connect Dwarka Expressway to Nelson Mandela Marg, while the other will connect Dwarka Link Road to NH-48.

As reported by Hindustan Times, traffic police officials said that while two underpasses and a flyover are being constructed, vehicles on the highway will be diverted towards the slip road constructed by the NHAI next to the carriageway towards Delhi.

AS Yadav, Special Commissioner of Police (Traffic) said that traffic on NH-48 near Shiv Murti crossing would be diverted from the main highway to the newly constructed slip road. According to NHAI officials, the construction work will be completed within 90 days.

Around 75,000 vehicles pass through here daily.

AS Yadav said the traffic police have analyzed the route and the traffic volume on this stretch. By March 14, he will give no-objection certificate to NHAI so that they can start the construction work. The diversion from the slip road will not pose a major problem to commuters as these roads are not narrow. He estimated that around 75,000 vehicles pass through here every day. The new construction will reduce the travel time for commuters going towards Dwarka.

The work of this project started in 2019

Work on the project began in 2019 and was expected to be completed in 2021, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the timelines for both the Delhi and Gurugram sections were revised. The Gurugram section is expected to be completed by July this year, while the Delhi section is expected to be completed by 2024.
