Work on Dwarka e-way service roads to start by March end
GMDA chief engineer said that after getting approval from the state government, the tender for construction of 15.30 km of service roads has been allotted
The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has said that work on the construction of service roads on both sides of the newly-built Dwarka expressway will begin by the end of this month. The GMDA, which will be building these roads said that the contractor is mobilising resources on the site and work will start soon.
The authority, meanwhile, has also identified land which will be acquired for the construction of service roads along the 3.36 km long CPR, which is part of the Dwarka expressway. A key project of the Haryana government, the Global City, will also get access to the Dwarka expressway through the service road along CPR. A number of residential and commercial projects along this road will get proper access to the expressway once the service roads are built on this stretch.
GMDA chief engineer, Arun Dhankhar, said that after getting approval from the state government, the tender for construction of 15.30 km of service roads has been allotted. “The construction work will start by the end of this month as the project is large and it takes some time for the contractor to mobilise men and material. The road will be built along Sector 81 to 115 at a cost of around ₹99 crore. Drains and a green belt will also be developed along the road,” he said.
