Gurgaon’s first cycle track between Huda City Centre and Subhash Chowk has been opened to the public. This cycle track is dedicated to common men and cyclists can now avail this facility to the fullest. With an underpass and a flyover, the cycle track runs from the GMDA office in Sector 44 to Subhash Chowk. The track is the first project under GMDA for creating 650 km of dedicated cycle tracks in the city.

Roads In Gurgaon Have Space For Walking As Well As Cycling
In its next phase, GMDA plans to make similar cycle tracks from HCC towards significant road networks such as Gurgaon-Faridabad Road, Golf Course Road and Golf Course Extension Road. Gurugram’s attempt to create the city’s first segregated cycle track shows that our roads have space for walking and cycling if we are a little more creative in our approach. This initiative can be a game-changer for Gurugram.
Bollards Have Been Placed On The Track
MCG officials had removed all illegal encroachments from the stretch. They also placed bollards on patches of the space where service lanes were earlier absent from safeguarding cyclists from vehicles. A blank boundary wall along the cycle stretch is also painted with graffiti. Gurgaon’s Longest Flyover To Cut Travel Time For Commuters By More Than Half!
Cycling in Gurgaon was extremely unsafe earlier. There were no facilities or infrastructure for cyclists before this track was built. So the creation of a track paves the way for more such safe places for cyclists to cycle.
