By TIOL News Service
NEW DELHI, MAY 11, 2018: TO get a relief from airport bound traffic, NHAI opens slip lane for free left at Parade road junction as part of its Dhaula Kuan Airport Decongestion plan. The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, sanctioned a project for improvement of Dhaula Kuan and Parade Road junction. On account of constraints in transfer of land from Defence Authorities and Forest clearance, this work could physically start on March 23, 2018. At T- junction near Defence area on Parde Road, the project provide for widening of 1.845 Km. (1.445 Km. along NH-8 and 0.4 Km. along Parade Road) including 3 lane underpass.
Inspite of the limited work front and restricted working hours available for construction, due to security concerns of Indian Air Force, NHAI was able to achieve the target of completing First Mile Stone to open 4 lane left side main carriageway on Dhaula Kuan - Airport corridor in Delhi- Gurugram direction within just 45 days. The work involved shifting of various utilities like over head electric lines, sewer lines, storm water lines, air force OFC network, tree cutting, IGL gas pipe lines etc. and construction of 450 m. RCC panel boundary wall in Air force area and 1400 m. boundary wall in the army area and four lane carriageway (LHS) in Delhi-Jaipur direction.
