The Mehrauli-Gurugram Road is set to undergo an ₹836.55 crore upgrade aimed at removing six traffic signals from an 8.5-kilometre stretch and creating uninterrupted movement between south Delhi and the Gurugram border, according to a report citing the National Highways Authority of India’s master plan.
The project will centre on Andheria Mor, where a three-level interchange is planned to separate local traffic from vehicles travelling towards Vasant Kunj, Gurugram and Qutub Minar. The ground level will handle local movements, while two flyovers above it will carry through-traffic in different directions without requiring vehicles to stop at traffic lights.
The flyovers at Andheria Mor are expected to be between 300 and 500 metres long. One elevated route will allow traffic moving towards Vasant Kunj to pass through without interruption. The uppermost flyover will serve vehicles travelling from Gurugram towards Qutub Minar. The stated objective is to remove cross-movement between traffic streams that currently converge at the junction.
Two parallel elevated roads, each 3.5 kilometres long and two lanes wide, will also be built alongside the Arjan Garh, Ghitorni, Sultanpur and Chhatarpur metro stations. One elevated road will provide a direct connection towards Vasant Kunj and Qutub Minar, while the other will carry vehicles from the Hauz Khas, Sainik Farm and Saket sides towards the Gurugram border without stopping at junctions or signals.
The six-lane road between Andheria Mor and the Haryana border will be redeveloped in two phases. The plan also includes organised U-turns at ground level for local traffic, allowing vehicles that do not need to use the elevated sections to continue using the road network. NHAI has set a target of completing the project within two and a half years, although the report does not provide a detailed construction schedule or phase-wise completion dates.
The corridor serves residents and commuters travelling between areas including Chhatarpur, Vasant Kunj, Saket, Mehrauli and Gurugram. Its current traffic pattern combines local access movements with vehicles using the road as a regional connection, creating delays at signalised junctions and around metro stations. The proposed arrangement is designed to keep through-traffic moving above or away from local turning movements.
The report also mentions a separate traffic intervention on Barapullah Phase-3. A signal is expected to be installed near the Sun Dial Loop within the week to regulate vehicles travelling from Mayur Vihar towards AIIMS. The location has reportedly developed a bottleneck where vehicles climbing from the loop merge with traffic approaching from Mayur Vihar. The signal is expected to be installed within three to four days after the supporting infrastructure was prepared.
