Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has approved a ₹29 crore project to widen a 2.4 km stretch of road in New Gurugram, between Naurangpur and Rampura Chowk on the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway, into a 6-lane corridor.
- The road, passing through Sectors 78, 79 and 80, is currently only about 5.5 metres wide at its broadest and sees heavy daily congestion as it carries traffic towards Tauru and Nuh along NH-8.
- The project was stuck since 2016 despite land compensation being paid, due to encroachments and administrative delays, with officials removing encroachments and completing right-of-way demarcation only last year.
- Construction is expected to begin in the first week of August after contracts are formally awarded, and take about two years, adding a central median, footpaths and drainage to tackle waterlogging and improve connectivity to the new sectors.
What to watch next
- Formal awarding of contracts and start of construction in the first week of August as scheduled
- Whether the roughly two-year completion timeline holds given the project's history of delays
- Completion of the drainage infrastructure aimed at fixing the area's waterlogging problem
