GURUGRAM’s impressive skyline hides its ground reality: broken roads, ramshackle pavements and pools of stagnant water. There is a stand-out spot, though. It’s a small stretch of road, 2.4 km in length, unusually well-designed with a cycle path, vendor zones, bus stops, EV charging points, street lights, benches, pathways and greenery.
This is Gurugram’s first model road or ‘complete road’, which means people can travel safely here, using any means of transport. It runs parallel to the Delhi-Gurugram highway, an important intersection used daily by around 50,000 to 70,000 people.
