AIIMS To Gurugram Flyover: To provide major traffic relief, construction work has been started to build an expressway from AIIMS to Gurugram via Mahipalpur. This expressway will enhance connectivity between Delhi and Gurugram, significantly reducing travel time. The Detailed Project Report (DPR), including a feasibility study and details on underground and elevated sections, is underway.

The expressway aims to alleviate congestion on key South Delhi stretches plagued by daily traffic snarls. In June 2025, the Central government proposed a 20-km elevated corridor to connect prominent South Delhi areas to Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport and Gurugram.

The flyover will link AIIMS in South Delhi to Mahipalpur in Southwest Delhi, extending to the Gurugram-Faridabad Road. Estimated at Rs 5,000 crore, per the Indian Express, the signal-free elevated corridor will start at AIIMS, connect to Nelson Mandela Marg via Ring Road, and include a 5-km tunnel from Nelson Mandela Marg to the airport and Dwarka Expressway.

“At present, both Ring Road and Outer Ring Road are arterial routes, especially from Noida and Ghaziabad, for commuters travelling to Delhi airport and Gurgaon…These two stretches also provide connectivity between Noida via the DND flyway and Faridabad. Heavy traffic merges at NH-48, the Delhi-Gurgaon highway. So, traffic jams are witnessed daily,” said a senior official from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).

The project, managed by NHAI, was discussed in June 2025 by Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, and L-G Vinai Kumar Saxena.

“This corridor will be merged with a tunnel, and another corridor will be constructed towards Gurgaon and Faridabad Road,” said a senior NHAI official, adding, “The elevated corridor from AIIMS to Nadira Marg, further connecting to Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road and Gurgaon-Faridabad Road, will act as a parallel corridor between Delhi and Gurgaon.”

The AIIMS-to-Mahipalpur stretch may be underground, while the remaining section could be elevated. Currently, traveling from AIIMS to Gurugram’s Sirhaul border takes at least 90 minutes during peak hours, and reaching Gurugram-Faridabad Road takes two hours, as per India.com.

Once completed, the expressway will reduce travel time to Gurugram-Faridabad Road to 20–25 minutes and ease congestion on the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway from Sirhaul Border to Mahipalpur. The corridor will connect to Gurugram-Faridabad Road near Ghata village.
