GURUGRAM: Long waits and common visitors snarls at Genpact Chowk on Golf Course Road are nonetheless giving a tricky time to commuters as Huda has no longer yet thrown open the newly constructed underpass at the busy junction. The reason why — absence of a cost-sharing agreement with real property large DLF.
The underpass, constructed at a cost of Rs 48 crore, is part of the 16-lane signal-free DLF-Huda throughway. Six different underpasses in this high-speed corridor are already useful. The Genpact Chowk underpass, which was included into the throughway undertaking at a latter stage, was completed six months again.
Huda officials said that the cost-sharing agreement with DLF can be signed on Thursday.

“The agreement will pave the way for of entirety of the throughway undertaking, which was below construction for the past 5 years,” he added.

But work was not on time because of several reasons — litigations, land issues, removal of obstacles and addition of positive components just like the underpass at Genpact Chowk at later stage. The time limit of the undertaking has been prolonged 5 times and the current time limit is June 2018.
The 16-lane street covering 8.three km from NH-8 toll plaza near Ambience Mall to Sector 55-56 was constructed to ease heavy visitors drift in the city. The signal-free street is expected to reduce visitors time from Delhi border to Golf Course Road and adjoining spaces.
