Market boom on Gurgaon – Faridabad Road

To ensure smooth traffic, two toll plazas are built on Ballabhgarh-Sohna stretch, in addition to the 14-lane toll plaza constructed on Gurgaon-Faridabad road. Connectivity with the airport adds to the convenience of the tourists coming over to visit Mathura, Agra, Jaipur, Surajkund and other historical places of Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.

According to the Gurgaon-Manesar Master Plan 2025, provision has been made for developing additional road links between Delhi and Gurgaon. 90 metres wide road links between Vasant Kunj (Delhi Border) in Delhi to Mehrauli road in Gurgaon, and from Andheria Mor in Delhi to Gurgaon – Faridabad road in Gurgaon , through Mandi and Gual Pahari would be built, in addition to the 150 metres wide road link between Dwarka residential complex of Delhi to National Highway 8 before Toll-Plaza towards Gurgaon.
