Gurgaon: The development project that is running in Mahavir Chowk is likely to miss the September 30 deadline, with officials from the Public Works Department (PWD) stating that only 45% of the work has been completed so far.
This project, which requires underpass development, the road as high as the path, and road service, is conceptualized in 2018 and funded by the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA).
However, construction that began in January 2020, was executed by PWD.
The whole project is expected to cost around Rs 23 Crore.
Although the 18-month time limit was initially set for construction settlement, PWD officials said that work was hit by unexpected factors such as locking in the middle of the covid pandemic, the lack of labor followed, and the prohibition of construction due to pollution.
At present, work is being detained because of the shift of some delayed utilities.
“Some electric poles on the road route have not been deleted.
We have completed underpass and work on the path also ongoing.
However, we cannot open this without completing road service,” said a senior PWD official on request anonymity.
“We will not be able to meet the current deadline for the project because it is only 45% of the work that has been completed so far.
This will bring us three more months to complete everything so that the structure tends to be open only at the end of this year or early next year,” said That official.
Mahavir Chowk is one of the main intersections in Gurgaon, connecting several places in the city who see high footsteps, namely the bus stand, government institutions such as police lines and civil hospitals, and conscious Bazar, which is the busiest market in the city.
While underpasses that are built to reduce the area will run between the old Delhi-Gurgaon road and road set roads, high paths will connect all the ways that emerge from the intersection, therefore have five point in and out, provide a safe pedestrian path regardless of pedestrian.
