GURUGRAM: After missing several deadlines, the redevelopment work on the Huda City Centre will be completed by June 30, the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has announced. The project has seen several delays due to the shifting of utilities and the pandemic last year.
Talking about the project, Jitender Mittal, chief engineer at GMDA, said, “Around 50% of the work has been completed and we are sure of completing the remaining in next four months.”
According to officials, they had planned to complete the project by summer last year, but the pandemic and the lockdown led to a shortfall in the manpower and shifting of the drain delayed the project further.
Meanwhile, diversions that have been in place since last year are making it inconvenient for the residents as it takes longer to travel.
The redevelopment project includes a bidirectional flyover to connect MF Husain Marg and the sector road linking Signature Towers with the Huda City Centre intersection, a unidirectional underpass for traffic coming from Signature Towers and going toward Subhash Chowk and two overbridges.
A major focus of the project is to make the junction friendly for pedestrians.
According to the plan, the 300-metre stretch adjacent to the metro station will be meant solely for pedestrians.
The redevelopment of the junction has been designed in a way that all traffic crossing the junction and not destined for the metro station will have to either take the proposed flyover or the underpass.
