Singh made the announcement after a meeting with the union transport minister, Nitin Gadkari, in the Parliament on Thursday. He said that various road projects in Gurugram and south Haryana that aim to reduce congestion and traffic pressure on the Delhi-Jaipur highway were discussed.

“The tenders for Bilaspur flyover and Manesar elevated corridor would be floated within the next 10 days. The flyover is going to be constructed at the cost of ₹23 crore and the budget for the elevated corridor is pegged at ₹90 crore. These two projects would reduce congestion and traffic jams on the Delhi-Jaipur highway and ease the movement of commuters in Gurugram and south Haryana,” said Singh.

Singh is also the minister of state (independent charge) of the ministry of statistics and programme implementation; union minister of state (independent charge) of the ministry of planning and union minister of state in the ministry of corporate affairs.

He said that the matter of shifting the Kherki Daula toll plaza was also discussed with the transport minister and he was assured that it would be done after the completion of the Gurugram section of the Dwarka Expressway, expected to be completed by the year-end. “This matter was also taken up with the transport minister and NHAI [National Highways Authority of India] officials in March and it is being pursued seriously. Removal of the toll plaza will greatly help city residents,” he said.

Singh said that he also discussed the issue of broken lights, and poor condition of main roads and service lanes on several stretches on the Delhi-Jaipur highway.
