The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) is ready to put forward a proposal to build five underpasses along the Old Gurugram Metro route between Millennium City Centre and Cyber City. The proposal, with an estimated cost of Rs 550 crore, will be presented to CM Nayab Singh Saini during the authority's board meeting.

If approved, the authority will initiate the process by conducting feasibility studies and preparing a detailed project report (DPR) for each of the six sites.

The underpasses will be built to ease traffic congestion in the Old Gurugram. As per reports, all six underpasses will be built in the second phase of the metro construction. The construction of these underpasses would be undertaken by the Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL). The GMRL will construct these underpasses simultaneously with the metro project.

The GMDA is planning simultaneous construction to save time and funds, which would pave way early completion of work.
