With traffic steadily worsening along Gurugram's Southern Peripheral Road (SPR), the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has initiated plans to strengthen internal connectivity by developing new service roads and completing long-pending road links.

The proposed service roads stretch roughly 3.5 km across sectors 70–70A and 70–75, addressing the chronic congestion that has plagued this high-growth region. With a 900-metre new road, approximately 1,100 metres of existing-road improvement and nearly 2 km of service roads, the project is designed to strengthen connectivity between SPR, Sohna Road and sectors including 68, 69, 70, 70A, 75 and 76.

The project, estimated at Rs 25.3 crore, had faced delays since 2019 due to land acquisition hurdles, which have now been resolved. Once completed, the corridor will feature dual carriageways, a service lane, green belts, cycle tracks and pedestrian pathways. Officials indicated that the detailed project report is currently under preparation, after which tenders will be invited.

The timing is critical. For thousands of families already residing in sectors 69 to 80–many in newly occupied residential condominiums–these upgrades promise tangible lifestyle benefits. GMDA estimates suggest traffic bottlenecks at key junctions like 69, 70, 71/72, and 75/75A will ease significantly, with hourly vehicle flow expected to exceed 10,000 in the coming decade.

The move comes as SPR is set for a major overhaul, including an elevated corridor project. The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) is finalising plans for a ₹750 crore elevated road connecting Vatika Chowk to the Dwarka Expressway cloverleaf. Authorities believe strengthening parallel and internal roads will be crucial to managing traffic diversions during construction and preventing further congestion.
