NHAI resolves drain issue, work to resume

Gurugram The stormwater drain falling in the alignment of the proposed underpass at Ambience Mall will be shifted by next month, said officials of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), adding it would pave the way for work on the project to resume. The contractor hired by the NHAI will shift the drain under the supervision of the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA).

Officials said six of the 10 lanes on each side of the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway will be closed for traffic after the drain is shifted. At present, four lanes to the extreme left of each side is closed for traffic, which will be blacktopped and opened once the work on shifting the drains is complete.

This will help in expediting work on the project, as the NHAI has also taken possession of the land on the Gurugram-Delhi side of the expressway for the project.
