Gurugram: Huda City Center flyover, six months late, crawling to finish line

The Huda City Center flyover, which was scheduled to open in February this year, is still under construction and running behind schedule. That it will take at least another month to open.

According to GMDA officials, this delay can be attributed to several reasons such as shifting of the water pipeline during the pond period and ban on month long construction. Work was resumed in April.

However, even after the ban was relaxed, labor shortages slowed down the pace of construction. "When the work is in progress, it is likely to take at least one more month," stated by GMDA.

Meanwhile, the variations from last year are inconvenient for residents.

The flyover is being built as part of a major redevelopment project at Huda City Center which also includes an underpass and a two-foot overbridge.

The 700 meter long underpass will be used by vehicles coming from the Signature Tower and heading towards Subhash Chowk. The flyover will be bidirectional and will be 270 meters long and will connect MF Hussain Marg and Sector Road with Signature Tower to Huda City Center Junction.

A major focus of the project is to make the junction pedestrian-friendly. As per the plan envisioned by the GMDA, the 300 meter extension adjacent to the metro station will be for pedestrians only and free of traffic.

The redevelopment of the junction is designed in such a way that all traffic crossing the junction and the metro station is destined will have to take either a proposed flyover or an underpass.

To promote infrastructure development, GMDA has set up 6 sub-cities in Gurugram

The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has divided the city into 6 sub cities to pursue better infrastructure. According to officials, development projects will be implemented here after detailed study of all sub-cities.

Another reason behind the partition is that there are many physical barriers in Gurugram. So infrastructure development without properly dividing the area can cause issues and delays. However, it will take some time to study each area thoroughly. This is why development and infrastructure plans are delayed.

As planned, Sub-city 1 consists of areas to the left of the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway while traveling towards Jaipur, covering the areas of SPR and most of the new Gurugram. The area of ​​Old Gurugram, located between the National Highway and the railway line, comes under sub-city 2. The area between Naurangpur and Sohanpur will constitute sub-city along with Sector 68 3. Sub-city 4 includes IMT Manesar, while sectors 81 to 96 are covered by sub-cities 5 and 6.

Sub cities will be divided into sectors, so that infrastructure problems can be resolved at the cluster level. For example, if a particular sub city is facing a lack of proper educational infrastructure more schools will be developed there. Although large infrastructure projects can only be built at the city level, community centers, water supply, etc. can be developed at the cluster level.

An environmental and transport plan will also be developed based on sub-cities. For example, if a certain sub-city is running low on ground water, then the emphasis will be on recharge of ground water. Afforestation projects will also be started in the same way. By this division of Gurugram, GMDA aims to solve problems at the most local level.

The first Residential Advisory Council (RAC) was held in Gurugram on Thursday, and the division of the city into these sub-cities was also discussed. The RAC consists of people from different social classes and its main role is to monitor the pace of projects undertaken by GMDA.
