Big Relief for Flyers: Mohali’s New Airport Road to Open by Year End

Mohali is gearing up for a major infrastructure upgrade as the much awaited new Airport Road is set to open by the end of this year. For daily commuters, long distance travellers and Chandigarh Tricity residents this development promises smoother travel, reduced congestion and a more efficient gateway to the international airport. Here’s a complete breakdown of what this new road means for the region and why it’s being hailed as a game changer.  

A Faster & Smarter Route for Airport Travel  

The new Airport Road has been designed to streamline connectivity between Mohali, Zirakpur, and Chandigarh International Airport. Currently travellers often face bottlenecks, slow moving traffic and delays especially during peak hours or holiday seasons. The upcoming stretch from Bawa White House crossing to Airport Road will eliminate these pressure points, offering a direct, wider and more organised corridor leading straight to the airport.  

Authorities of  GMADA have indicated that all major civil works, including road widening, strengthening and junction realignment are in the final stage. The finishing touches, service lane markings and signboard installations are now underway ensuring the road is fully ready for public use before the year ends.  

Reduced Congestion & Improved Travel Time  

One of the biggest advantages of this new project is a significant reduction in travel time. With smoother curves, fewer choke points and modern engineering design the new route is expected to cut commute duration by  20 to 30 minutes during busy hours.  

The road will also divert a considerable volume of traffic away from the congested Airport Chowk and Zirakpur stretch bringing long needed relief to residents and regular travellers. For those catching flights this means less stress, fewer delays and a much more predictable travel schedule.  

Seamless Airport Travel: What This New Link Road Delivers  

The upcoming alternate airport road is being built as a  robust 8.5 km dual carriageway designed to efficiently manage the rising traffic from Mohali’s fast growing regions.  

Infrastructure upgrades always play a key role in shaping urban development and Mohali’s new Airport Road is no exception. Real estate experts believe this corridor will unlock growth in surrounding sectors.  

The 8.5 km stretch is being developed by  GMADA with just one key component still underway a double lane under railway bridge along with a bridge over the N Choe section. These structures are crucial for ensuring uninterrupted traffic flow and long term road safety. Marking a major milestone in Mohali’s infrastructure upgrade.  

Better Experience for Flyers & Visitors  

Whether someone is travelling for business, dropping off a family member or arriving in Punjab from another state or country the new route ensures a more pleasant experience. Wider roads, clear signage, landscaping and upgraded lighting will give the entire stretch a more premium and organised feel. For first time visitors it also creates a strong first impression of the region’s development.  

Final Countdown: What’s Next?  

With the completion timeline now officially set for year end final inspections and safety checks are soon to follow. Once operational the new Mohali Airport Road will immediately ease the traffic load and bring long awaited relief to thousands of daily commuters.  

As Mohali continues expanding as a business and residential hub this project marks a significant step toward future ready infrastructure and seamless mobility across the Tricity.
