The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has intensified efforts to complete the Gurugram section of the Dwarka Expressway before the December deadline in order to open the 19km-stretch this year.
A scaled up workforce is on the job round-the-clock, officials said, adding that they have also deployed more machinery to aid them. “We are on track to ensure the project is completed by December and the expressway is opened to commuters,” a senior NHAI official said.
He said finishing touches such as installing signboards and painting can be carried even after the expressway is opened.
“We have increased our workforce by hiring more labourers. Construction is going on all day. We are deploying more machinery and continuously monitoring the project,” the official said.
