Sec 99-102 master road set for revamp
Gurugram, Nov. 21 -- Following multiple complaints from motorists and residents alike, the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) is likely to begin the revamp of the pothole-ridden master road dividing sectors 99 and 102 by early next year, officials said.
The project, estimated to cost Rs.8.34 crore, will rehabilitate an 800-metre stretch that has been plagued by potholes and uneven patches. It will also include construction of a stormwater drain and footpaths. GMDA will float the tender by month-end, and work is expected to begin early next year, said officials.
Meanwhile, residents said no meaningful action had been taken so far despite repeated complaints. They pointed out that the road's construction was originally meant to be completed by February, but it continues to remain in disrepair.
Arun Dhankhar, chief engineer at GMDA, said the road will be fully rebuilt, with both the drain and footpaths added. Notably, this marks the GMDA's first major revamp of the stretch since 2018 - until now, only annual patchwork had been carried out. "This will significantly boost connectivity between Dwarka Expressway and Dhankot," Dhankhar said.
Sunil Sareen, a resident of Sector 102 and joint convenor at Dwarka Expressway Gurugram Development Association (DXP-GDA), said, "The road is a crucial lifeline between Dwarka Expressway, Dhankot and upper Dwarka Expressway. It has been ignored for months."
Also, due to poor condition of the Gurugram-Jhajjar road, traffic is re-routed onto this road. Naval Kishor Rustagi, RWA president of Heritage Max in Sector 102, said,"Large potholes across the stretch are causing back pain, spinal issues, and daily discomfort to all commuters."...
