Traffic congestion along the capital-connect corridor has reached critical levels, heavily impacting daily commuters and commercial transit. A comprehensive 15-day traffic study conducted by a private consultant for DLF in August 2025 and submitted to the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) highlighted the intensity of the problem. The study revealed that traffic density on the arterial route sits roughly 70 percent above its design threshold, recording an enormous volume of 52,700 passenger car units (PCUs) per hour heading toward Delhi, with evening peak hours alone witnessing over 24,000 PCUs.
How will the project be executed on the ground?
Marking a landmark public-private collaboration framework in North India, DLF will independently finance and oversee the multi-phase construction. The first phase focuses on building an elevated three-lane flyover starting from the U-turn underpass near Ambience Mall. Running parallel to the existing infrastructure on the Delhi-to-Jaipur carriageway toward Cyber City and DLF Downtown, this corridor allows drivers to bypass choked junctions like Shankar Chowk and Moulsari Avenue entirely. Additionally, the service road behind the U-turn underpass will be expanded from two lanes to four. The second phase introduces a three-lane underpass starting from Moulsari Avenue, routing beneath the expressway to merge seamlessly with Delhi-bound traffic while bypassing surface-level bottlenecks.
What makes this development model unique?
This initiative represents a first-of-its-kind model in the region where a private developer takes independent financial and operational charge of major public road infrastructure of this magnitude. While the Haryana government and GMDA have granted formal in-principle approval, final engineering alignments and documentation are currently being completed. By stepping up to shoulder the financial and developmental responsibility, DLF aims to transform one of Gurugram's busiest bottlenecks into a fluid, sustainable transit corridor
