The proposed three-lane corridor would carry vehicles from the Dwarka Expressway underpass above NH-8 towards Gurgaon, aiming to reduce peak-hour merging near Rangpuri and Ambience Mall.

NHAI is considering a roughly 2km elevated corridor from the Dwarka Expressway interchange near Rangpuri to the Haryana border, alongside the Rajokri flyover. The route would be reserved for traffic emerging from the Dwarka Expressway underpass, while Delhi-bound NH-8 traffic would stay on the existing carriageway.

A proposed three-lane elevated corridor could give Dwarka Expressway traffic a separate run towards Gurgaon from the Rangpuri interchange to near Ambience Mall.

NHAI is considering the roughly 2km structure along the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway, parallel to the Rajokri flyover. Vehicles exiting the Dwarka Expressway underpass would be directed onto it instead of merging with NH-8 traffic at ground level. The elevated road would cross into Haryana and descend opposite Ambience Mall, with a proposed ramp for traffic bound for the mall, Cyber City and Udyog Vihar.

An NHAI traffic assessment found the NH-8 section from Shiv Murti to the Haryana border, including its service roads, operates at Level of Service F during peak hours. Queues can stretch back towards the Mahipal flyover, especially where vehicles join the two-lane service road near Ambience Mall.

The survey recorded daily volumes of 1.2 lakh vehicles on one NH-8 carriageway and 1.6 lakh on the other. The proposal remains under active consideration.
