News: Rs 55.46 Cr Underpass Near Millennium City Centre Awaits Nod-08-10-2026
The proposed 1.35 km, six lane bi-directional underpass from Iffco Chowk towards Ardee City near Millennium City centre is set to move forward, with the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) having sent the tender proposal to the state government for approval earlier last week, officials said on Wednesday.
Four bidders were found eligible after technical and financial evaluation. A senior GMDA official said that once the government clears it, the proposal will go to the high powered purchase committee headed by the chief minister for negotiation and award to the most competitive bidder.
The underpass will cost Rs 55.46 crore and run along the intersection of sectors 27, 29, 43 and 44, with three lanes in each direction and a parallel six-lane at-grade carriageway. Completion is expected within 18 months of allotment. It will have two rainwater harvesting structures, a groundwater recharge corridor and solar panels to meet its electricity needs.
Separately, GMDA said it has assessed around 180 km of footpaths across Gurugram. Around 72 km were found satisfactory, repair and restoration has begun on 80 km, and the remaining 28 km will be rebuilt.
CEO PC Meena on Wednesday inspected footpath construction along the Sector 46/51 and Sector 51/57 master dividing roads. He asked for trees on both sides wherever possible for shade, and hedges to help control dust.
