To complete the final leg of construction along the Rapid Metro rail route in Gurgaon area, there are two new road diversions planned for commuters as an alternative around the Cyber City area effective from July 7 morning. The diversions would be operational till the end of this year.
Sarvesh Tiwari, spokesperson, Rapid Metro Rail Gurgaon said that by July 9, they would have a fair idea whether there is any upgradation required to man the traffic flow along this new route. The traffic heading from Sikanderpur/Sector 56 and going towards Delhi will now use the same exit to NH-8 which is being used for by traffic taking a turn towards IFFCO Chowk at present.
Till now, the traffic going towards NH-8 towards Delhi or Udyog Vihar would take a turn in front of Gateway Tower at Shankar Chowk and then a right under the Shankar Chowk flyover. The traffic from Sikanderpur/Sector-56 going towards Delhi will now take a compulsory right turn from Rapid Metro pillar number 103 (in front of ship building) to use the service road along the flyover to reach Shankar Chowk.
