Smart card to be introduced on Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway

Here's some good news for motorists harried by the long queues at toll plazas on the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway. Smart cards, to be introduced soon, will assure a smooth ride through the three toll plazas on the expressway.

Top district officials and the concessionaire, Delhi Gurgaon Super Connectivity Limited (DGSCL), decided in a meeting on Monday that smart cards will be introduced for toll plazas on the expressway in the coming days on the lines of the Metro smart card.

The smart cards are likely to end woes of motorists passing through the Sirhaul toll plaza at the 24-km milestone as it is known to be the most congested of the three.

To make it easier for commuters, these smart cards are going to be available at fuel stations with a recharge value of Rs 200, Rs 300 and Rs 500. District officials said the smart cards will make sure that motorists spend less time at the toll gate leading to smooth flow of traffic.

The existing tag facility didn't help much to avoid a bottleneck at the toll plaza, the officials said. While the tags were available only at the toll plazas though smart cards can be purchased and recharged at various petrol pumps and CNG stations in Gurgaon as well as in Delhi.

"Commuters can easily access smart cards as they anyway have to go to fuel stations," said K. K. Sindhu, commissioner of police, Gurgaon, who headed a meeting held at his office with representatives of DGSCL, NHAI, Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) and various RWAs of Gurgaon.

He added that the smart card will have functions similar to a tag though the former will be a touch-and-go facility while a tag works on sensor programming.

Also, the concessionaire has allocated only four lanes on each side for tag users but smart card users can use any toll lane to zip through.

One of the major reasons for congestion at the toll plaza is the delay in completing transactions, often because of shortage of change. The smart card will be accepted at all three toll plazas on the busy Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway.

"Smart cards will reduce the time to be spent at the toll booths as the attendants will have no role to play," Sindhu added. A car has to pay Rs 21 as one-time toll.

The main agenda of Monday's meeting was to evaluate the initiatives taken by the concessionaire and NHAI after a direction received from the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The stakeholders will provide details of the initiatives taken by them in the next hearing scheduled on December 5.

Sindhu also directed the concessionaire to install high quality cameras and street lights along the 27-km expressway. He emphasised the need for cameras and street lights especially at the busy Delhi-Gurgaon toll plaza and the Kherki Daula toll plaza.

Following the direction, DGSCL has decided to install cameras along the entire stretch as well as at red lines marked 400 metres away on either side of boom barriers.

NPR and EPR comes the Central Peripheral Road. It is shown in the maps provided by DLF in their latest projects;

Odd choice of name ... calling it a Central and Peripheral at the same time

The idea is to connect the 2 halves of GGN (split by NH-8) by a wide corridor, hopefully bypassing the Manesar toll gate.

Nice quality roads. Wish they would put more effort into landscaping the area, dividers, etc, so that they're nicer to look at.

The roads on the ground need drainage. Really, really badly. The roads are at or below ground level, and I don't see any drainage pipes. Elevating the road by a meter would have helped with both drainage and the visual need for landscaping.

I would regard this as easily one of the most advanced motorways in Asia if not the world. I saw the YT video of this E-Way and it is truly stunning. The area will be even more stunning once the Brys Buzz comes up..

The video is really gud. But it is about yamuna expressway which is in noida where brys buzz is coming up. The highway being discussed here is dwarka expressway which is being constructed in gurgaon. Btw yamuna expressway is really one of the best highways of asia.

I cannot speak for Indian Visionary but I surely have been to South Korea. I now live in the USA and trust me, Yamuna Expressway is right up there with the very best of 'em. Kudos to Jaypee Infra for pulling off a gem of a project. Like others have said, the pics are not of Yamuna Eway, they are of another road project
