Dwarka e-way underpass opens partially for traffic

Gurugram: A key underpass beneath the Dwarka Expressway which connects Basai road overbridge with Sectors 102 and 102A was opened for traffic on a trial basis on Tuesday morning. Two lanes of the four-lane underpass were thrown open for traffic and the opposite side will be accessible from Wednesday, a National Highways Authority of India project contractor said. NHAI officials said that the opening of the underpass will ensure smooth movement of traffic from the Hero Honda Chowk to residential sectors on the opposite side since it has now enabled connectivity between Hero Honda Chowk and both sides of the Dwarka expressway with six sectors on the western side in particular getting easy access which include sectors 102, 102A, 103, 106, Kherki Majra, Basai, Dhankot and other adjoining areas. Last year in April, then Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar had inaugurated the Basai road overbridge but the highway authority had to construct service roads on both sides of the underpass to facilitate movement of traffic on the Dwarka Expressway at the surface level as the underpass remained incomplete due to litigation over land.
