Six-lane high-speed corridor to link Dwarka eway, Jhajjar

Gurgaon: A six-lane corridor has been planned to improve connectivity between Gurgaon and Jhajjar, along with a bypass for Farrukhnagar, chief minister Nayab Singh Saini announced during the state budget.

The 33km project will extend from Harsaru bypass on Gurgaon–Pataudi Road at Wazirpur (NH 352W) to Jhajjar (NH 352). National Highways Authority of India began the process to appoint a consultant to prepare the detailed project report. The DPR will evaluate technical requirements, traffic projections, land acquisition needs, environmental impact, and the project's economic and financial viability before finalising alignments and cost estimates.

“The project is currently at an initial stage. We invited bids to engage a consultant for preparing the DPR. The exact alignment, starting point of the Farrukhnagar bypass, and other technical details will be determined during the DPR stage after examining feasibility and traffic projections.”

At present, the stretch between Wazirpur and Farrukhnagar is a two-lane road, which connects the state highway at Farrukhnagar, before joining NH 352. Once implemented, the corridor will eventually provide connectivity between Jhajjar and Dwarka Expressway through NH 352 and NH 352W, creating a seamless link between western Haryana and Delhi without relying solely on the Delhi-Jaipur highway.

Separately, NHAI is upgrading the 43km Gurgaon–Pataudi–Rewari (NH-352W) highway at an estimated cost of Rs 900 crore. Once fully operational, the corridor is expected to improve connectivity between Gurgaon, southern Haryana and Rajasthan, while easing traffic on the Delhi–Jaipur Expressway.
