Sohna Elevated Corridor [1] is a 21.65 km (13.45 mi) long, six-lane wide under-construction highway corridor in Gurgaon district of Haryana, India. The project is being implemented by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) at an estimated cost of ₹1,466 crore.

Construction[]

The NHAI has divided the construction work of this project into two packages.[2]

Package Length in km Value in crores Contractor
Rajiv Chowk in Gurugram to Badshahpur 08.94 ₹800 Oriental Structural Engineers
Badshahpur to K.R. Mangalam University in Sohna 12.71 ₹666 H.G. Infra Engineering

2020 Accident[]

A major mishap during project execution happened on 22 August 2020, when a section of the under-construction flyover came crashing down. The cause of this collapse was attributed to the caving in of three recently installed girders between two pillars. The accident spot is close to the Vipul Greens residential apartment complex on Sohna Road and is located in a high-traffic zone. However, owing to partial lock-down measures enforced by the Government of Haryana, many businesses and leisure outlets were closed at that time. This helped in avoiding fatalities and in keeping the casualty figure low. According to Gurgaon Police, two labourers suffered minor injuries and there were no injuries among pedestrians or people in passing vehicles.[3]

Status updates[]

  • Jan 2021: Construction work of Package 1 is 32% complete and Package 2 is 70% complete.[4]
  • Sep 2021: The corridor is around 60% completed, and is expected to be fully completed and become operational by June 2022.[5]
