The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will block 200 metre-long sections of the rightmost lanes on both the carriageways of the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway for at least six months from 5pm on Wednesday to facilitate the construction of a cloverleaf intersection close to the Kherki Daula toll plaza. This is likely to cause congestion and a delay in travel time, traffic police said.
“The blockade will be in place for at least six months. Commuters should expect some congestion, as well as a delay of 10-15 minutes in travel time. They should plan their journeys accordingly. The traffic police will be present at the spot for assistance and diverting vehicles,” said Ravinder Singh Tomar, DCP (traffic), Gurugram Police. At least 80,000 vehicles cross the Kherki Daula toll plaza daily, he said.
The advisory said that the lanes will be blocked about a kilometre before the toll plaza, on the way to Jaipur. The concessionaire will construct temporary lanes in the space between the green belt and both carriageways.
