Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari has shared the first photographs of the 22 km long Gurgaon-Sohna National Highway. An extension of elevated roads to reach 6 lane controlled corridor with total elevated section of about 7 km has been developed at a capital investment of about Rs.2000 crores. The highway is being opened for traffic today (July 7) and is aimed at decongesting the city for commuters commuting from NH 8 connecting Delhi-Jaipur to Sohna and South Gurgaon.

A 3 lane service road has been constructed on both sides to facilitate local traffic. This section will also provide connectivity to Delhi and Gurgaon via the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, Nitin Gadkari mentioned in a series of tweets.
Sohna and South Gurgaon have become a preferred area for office spaces as well as residential societies, leading to increased traffic in the area. The new elevated road will bypass several crossings and densely populated areas to create a smooth transition between NH8 and Sohna.
