NHAI is planning a three-lane elevated corridor on the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway between Shiv Murti and the Haryana border near Ambience Mall. The proposed elevated section will be around 2km long and run parallel to the existing Rajokri flyover. (AI-generated image used for representational purpose)
Vehicles from Sonipat, Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad also add to the traffic load on the network. (AI-generated image used for representational purpose) According to a survey, daily traffic volume on the NH8 main carriageways was recorded at 1.2 lakh vehicles on one side and 1.6 lakh on the other. Traffic queues were reported to extend till Mahipal flyover. (AI-generated image used for representational purpose) Traffic from south, west and southwest Delhi converges at Shiv Murti before entering Gurgaon. The proposed three-lane elevated corridor will begin from the right-turn tunnel of the Dwarka Expressway interchange near Rangpuri. Vehicles emerging from the underpass will be directed onto the elevated section instead of merging with the existing NH8 carriageway. (AI-generated image used for representational purpose) A traffic assessment found that the NH8 stretch between Shiv Murti and the Haryana border, including its service roads, was operating at Level of Service F during peak hours. The service roads and interchange movements also carry thousands of vehicles every day. (AI-generated image used for representational purpose) Traffic travelling from Delhi on NH8 will continue on the existing four-lane carriageway and will not enter the proposed elevated road. The elevated corridor is planned primarily for vehicles emerging from the Dwarka Expressway underpass. (AI-generated image used for representational purpose) A separate flyover has been proposed by DLF along the city-bound service road from Ambience Mall to Cyber City. The proposal is aimed at increasing the capacity of the service road and is currently under consideration by the Haryana government. (AI-generated image used for representational purpose)
