The public works department (PWD) is planning to finally begin widening the 8.8km stretch, a project that has faced multiple setbacks over the last decade.

In a bid to streamline the process, PWD is handing over the project to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), which will also oversee land acquisition and execute the widening work, said officials.

The project, which stretches from the Chhattarpur Metro station near MG Road to the Gurgaon-Faridabad Road near Gwal Pahari in Haryana, aims to address the traffic bottlenecks that plague the area.
