[Resolved]  DS Construction & NHAI — Poor services and ineffective traffic management on NH 8

Address:

Gurgaon, Haryana

Peak office hour traffic very poorly managed in Delhi Gurgaon Expressway NH 8 by DS Contruction leading to huge traffic jams and accidents at several places, like U-trurn below Shiv Murty flyover, both before and after toll gate at KM24 and ambience mall exit slipway.

Intentionally U-turn for entry to ambience mall through exit 5 near KM 24 toll gate left open for traffic coming from Gurgaon side during peak office hours leading to huge traffic pile up both upsteam and downstream of KM24 toll gate.

Toll gates meant for tag users only are allowed for use by cash payers which leads to slow traffic movement. No fines are evre charged by DS Construction to such cash payers and also preventive measures (manual checks) are minimal and ineffective.

Recent restriction of dedicated lane use for common wealth games 2010 made traffic chaos even more severe. Public announcements by trffic authorities indicate that CWG dedicated lanes are applicable to roads from IGI airport to CWG village and venues. Why other stretches of NH 8 such as IFFCO Chowk or Ambience mall exits are being blocked for CWG are not clear. Hotel owners at Ambience Mall, in an around IFFCO Chowk might have vested interested in this.
