The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has given its approval for the project tender concerning the construction of five major roads in Gurugram. These roads, spanning from sectors 99 to 115 and connecting to the Dewrka Expressway, were discussed during the 62nd core planning cell meeting. The estimated cost of the project is over Rs 80 crore, and it is expected to be completed within a year.

GMDA authorities have stated that these roads were initially developed by the Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) back in 2014 and subsequently handed over to the GMDA in 2018. However, since the handover, only temporary repairs have been carried out on these roads. The construction activities related to the expressway had negatively impacted the road surfaces, necessitating their reconstruction.

The first road to be addressed is the Sector 114 outer road, which will span 700 meters and require an expenditure of 10.66 crores. The second road is the master road connecting sectors 102 and 102A, with an estimated cost of Rs. 15.48 crore. The third road will traverse sectors 106 and 103, intersecting the expressway, and will cost around 17.86 crores. The fourth road set for renovation connects sectors 106 and 109, with an estimated cost of 18.92 crores. Officials have highlighted that this road will feature a junction linking to the Dwarka Motorway. The final road project approved by the GMDA is the master road between sectors 102A and 103, which is expected to cost 16.41 crores.

During discussions, PC Meena, the chief executive officer of the GMDA, emphasised the need for flyovers and underpasses in the infrastructure. He stated, "The renovation takes into account the expected increase in development activities in these areas once the Dwarka Expressway becomes operational. Additionally, instructions have been given to construct proper drainage systems alongside the roads."

Pravin Malik, president of the United Association of New Gurugram, called for an audit of the existing master sector roads by the GMDA. He urged the authorities to prioritise the repair of poorly maintained roads instead of relying on temporary patchwork.
