GMDA, Maruti Suzuki tie-up for FOB on Old Delhi-Gurgaon Road

The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) is set to collaborate with Maruti Suzuki to construct a Foot Over Bridge (FOB) on Old Delhi-Gurgaon Road, near the Maruti Suzuki factory in Sector 18. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to enhance pedestrian safety and facilitate smoother movement across the busy road.

The project was discussed in a meeting chaired by A. Sreenivas, CEO of GMDA, with senior officials from both GMDA and Maruti Suzuki present. The FOB will be developed as part of Maruti Suzuki's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, with GMDA overseeing its construction. The bridge, measuring 37 meters in length, will feature escalators, staircases, and possibly elevators, as requested by the CEO for added convenience. Additionally, rooftop solar panels may be installed to power the elevators.

The bridge will enhance safety for Maruti factory workers and local residents in the area. GMDA has completed a survey of the site, and a detailed project report (DPR) has been submitted. The tender process will begin in December, with the project slated for completion within nine months at an estimated cost of ?5.45 crore.

GMDA also plans to construct additional FOBs at key locations across the city, including Sector 14 market, Raheja Mall on Sohna Road, and CD Chowk, to further improve pedestrian safety in high-traffic areas.
