Gurgaon | Wednesday | 16th January, 2019

Summary:

Starting from Gurgaon-Faridabad road near Ghata-Kanarpur, the SPR intersects NH-8 before the Kherki Daula toll plaza at Badshapur Chowk on Sohna road. “Generally, trucks are loaded while going towards Faridabad; they are mostly empty on their way back. Hence, one side is relatively better off than the other,” said Mittal.The road, built by HSVP, was opened to traffic in July 2017. The project was one of HSVP’s biggest ever, and was supposed to divert heavy traffic to the city’s outskirts. While the patch repair work by GMDA had helped a bit, many problems remain.In the light of the feasibility study report, the authority is now mulling a project to strengthen SPR..
