Haryana government gives eight acres for flyover, underpass at Hero Honda Chowk.

In a major step forward towards the construction of an eight-lane flyover along the Delhi-Jaipur Highway at Hero Honda Chowk in Gurgaon, the Haryana government on Tuesday transferred about eight acres of HUDA land at the site to National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), according to a spokesperson of the Haryana government.

'The flyover would be constructed at an approximate cost of Rs. 100 crore,' the spokesperson said. According to NHAI officials, the chowk will receive immense relief from regular traffic snarls when the one-km long flyover is constructed, along with an underpass, and will allow for continuity of traffic.

'Initially, the plan was to go for a six-lane flyover since the highway below was also six-lane. But anticipating problems in the future, we decided to plan for an eight-lane flyover. We also want to build an underpass at the site, but realised that we needed more land,' an NHAI official said.
