Land hurdles cleared, two more Southern Peripheral Road links set for completion

Gurgaon: In a relief to thousands of commuters in new sectors along Southern Peripheral Road (SPR), GMDA has moved forward on two long-pending stretches — one between sectors 71 and 73 and another between sectors 62 and 65 — that remained incomplete for years due to land hurdles. After receiving the possession of a 5.9-acre land parcel earlier this month, the authority is now set to take up construction of a 350m stretch between sectors 71 and 73, which is estimated to cost Rs 2.22 crore. Though the master road in the area was laid in 2021, this unfinished patch continued as a hurdle in connectivity, forcing commuters to take long detours. Now, clearance of land has paved the way not only for the construction of roads, but also for utility services like master water storm drain, and sewerage network in the area, officials said. Alongside this, the authority is also working on a 170-metre missing link between sectors 62 and 65. This project too, with an estimated cost of Rs 1 crore, was in limbo for several years due to land hurdles. "Construction was pending due to land issues. Now that they have been resolved, we can move forward. Tenders will be floated once the estimates are approved," a senior GMDA official said. This comes weeks after GMDA CEO Shyamal Misra directed officials to prepare estimates on clearance of bottlenecks in road links in all sectors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Fully Loaded 4 BHK apts for 4.49 Cr(All Incl)* in Sec 104 ATS Triumph, Gurgaon Book Now Undo Meanwhile, residents, who long complained of a lack of seamless connectivity, said the development came as a relief. "We have been waiting for these links to be completed for years. With new housing projects coming up in the area, the pressure on our road is only going to increase," said Vaibhav Chauhan, a resident of Sector 71.
