Gadkari will visit city this May to review Dwarka e-way, open cloverleaf, says Gurugram MP

Union transport minister Nitin Gadkari will inspect Dwarka Expressway and inaugurate the cloverleaf at Kheri?Daula in Gurugram in May. He will also review the Delhi-Jaipur highway and other road projects in the area. An elevated road between Dhaula Kuan and Manesar is also being considered. The Kherki Daula toll plaza may also be shifted. The underpasses at Pachgaon Chowk, Rathiwas Chowk and Salawas Chowk on the Delhi-Jaipur National Highway are expected to start soon. The work on Manesar elevated road has not started due to non-availability of land.

Union transport minister Nitin Gadkari is expected to be in Gurugram this May to inspect the Dwarka Expressway, which is slated to be completed in the next three to four months, and also to inaugurate the cloverleaf being constructed at Kheri Daula, said a statement issued by Gurugram MP Rao Inderjit Singh on Wednesday.

Earlier in the day, Rao Inderjit called on Gadkari at his residence and discussed issues regarding the Delhi-Jaipur highway, shifting of Kherki Daula toll plaza and the execution of other road projects in Gurugram district.

The transport minister is expected to inaugurate the cloverleaf being constructed at Kherki Daula, to connect Southern Peripheral Road, Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway and the Dwarka Expressway.

Rao Inderjit said the issue of constructing an elevated road between Dhaula Kuan and Manesar was also discussed in detail, and the transport minister apprised him that a detailed project report is being prepared for the project.

“The traffic on Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway has grown manifold and it is important that an elevated road be constructed to take the additional load. I was told that the DPR is being prepared for the project and it will be reviewed soon,” said Rao Inderjit.

Rao Inderjit said he was apprised during the meeting that the work on Manesar elevated road has not been started due to non availability of land, and the matter is in the process of being resolved.

He also said the work on Bilaspur flyover, which has been sanctioned, will start only after the work on the construction of flyover at Kapriwas is completed. “Due to the work on Kapriwas flyover, there is heavy congestion on this stretch and in order to avoid jams, the construction (at Bliaspur) will be taken up later,” he said.

Rao Inderjit said the decision to transfer the Delhi-Jaipur national highway up to Haryana border and sanctioning of elevated road between Hero Honda Chowk and Umang Bhardwaj Chowk was a farsighted one as it will definitely improve the condition of highways in Gurugram and put the infrastructure project on the fast track.

“The Dwarka Expressway will be inspected by transport minister next month and it is expected that the cloverleaf, which is nearing completion at Kherki Daula will also be inaugurated by him,” said Rao Inderjit, who was accompanied by Bhiwani-Mahendragarh MP Dharmbir Singh on his visit to Gadkari.
