Smooth Rides Ahead: Two-Lane Bridge to Decongest Dhankot Bypass
Gurgaon’s Dhankot Bypass is finally getting relief from daily gridlocks. The Public Works Department (PWD) has cleared a plan to build a new two-lane bridge beside the existing one. The goal is simple — reduce congestion and make commutes faster.
This project, costing around ₹4 crore, will solve one of the city’s biggest traffic headaches. The new bridge will ease pressure on the current route and handle the growing number of vehicles.
Work Moving Towards Approval
PWD officials confirmed that the project received technical clearance earlier this year. However, the final approval still awaits the green light from the main authority. The head office asked for a few design corrections, mostly related to road surface thickness.
Once approved, PWD will open tenders and start construction quickly. The bridge will be 7.5 metres wide and run parallel to the existing one. It will add more space for cars, buses, and bikes, helping everyone move smoothly during rush hours.
An official shared, “We’ve completed technical scrutiny. Final approval should come very soon.”
Repair Work on Gurgaon–Jhajjar Road
At the same time, PWD has started repairing a 1.4 km stretch of the Gurgaon–Jhajjar Road. This includes 1,200 metres from Dwarka Expressway to Baba Shyam Chowk and 200 metres near the Basai flyover.
The team plans to raise the road level to stop waterlogging. The current road lies lower than nearby ones like Dwarka Expressway. The ₹7 crore project should finish in about six months. For over a year, one side of the road stayed closed while the other was full of potholes. The new repairs will bring smooth driving back to this busy route.
Daily Commuters Share Their Struggle
For daily travelers, this intersection is pure chaos. Santosh Singh, a resident of Pareena Laxmi, said, “Every morning feels like a traffic battle. There’s too little space for too many vehicles.”
Jams at Dhankot Bypass waste time, fuel, and energy every day. Ambulances and school buses also struggle to move through. This bridge will finally give residents the breathing space they deserve.
Why This Bridge Matters
The new bridge will double traffic-handling capacity at this key junction. During rush hours, it will allow vehicles to move freely without constant stops.
Sanjeev Singh, MD of SKJ Landbase, explained the bigger picture. Urban traffic bottlenecks are a growing concern. The Dhankot Bypass bridge will improve traffic flow and overall commuter experience. These projects don’t just move vehicles they move the city forward.
He believes that better roads lead to stronger cities. “When infrastructure improves, businesses thrive, and daily life becomes easier,”

Sanjeev Singh believes real growth depends on solid infrastructure. He said, “The Dhankot bridge is more than a construction project. It connects people, improves safety, and enhances quality of life.”
He added, “When cities invest in smart infrastructure, they invest in their citizens’ future.” According to him Gurgaon must continue building smarter, faster, and safer routes to support its rapid expansion.
Benefits Beyond Traffic Relief
The bridge and road repairs will do more than fix jams. They will make commuting safer, quicker, and more pleasant.
Here’s how:
- Less fuel waste: Smooth flow means no long idling or fuel burn in jams.
- Time savings: Commuters will reach work and home faster.
- Safer travel: Rebuilt roads reduce accidents and sudden breakdowns.
- More business: Easy access attracts new investments and jobs nearby.
Each improvement makes Gurgaon more liveable and connected.
What Happens Next
PWD submitted the final drawings on October 4. Once approved, construction will start without delay. Residents may face jams until the new bridge opens, but the wait will be worth it.
In six months, the stretch could look completely different — wider, smoother, and safer. Gurgaon’s traffic story is changing, one project at a time.
Conclusion
Dhankot Bypass has been a pain point for years. With this new two-lane bridge and major road repairs, Gurgaon is moving towards smoother travel and better planning.
Sanjeev Singh sums it up perfectly: “Good infrastructure is the backbone of any modern city. When we fix roads, we fix lives.”
Gurgaon’s roads are finally catching up with its growth and the journey ahead looks much smoother.
