NHAI to Install Sound Barriers on MDI Flyover to Keep Noise Pollution at Check

The barriers will be installed in areas which are precariously close to the flyover. While the permissible sound level is restricted to 45-50 decibels, the sound emitted from these vehicles often crosses 80 decibels, which is highly disruptive for the people residing in this area With NHAI having taken up this project, it has served as a relief to the affected residents.<br>

  1. NHAI to Install Sound Barriers on MDI Flyover to Keep Noise Pollution at Check The Maharana Pratap Chowk Flyover, also known as the MDI Flyover, is one of Gurgaon’s most used flyovers. The 1.82 km four-lane flyover connecting MDI Industrial Gate to Sector 17 of Gurgaon was completed and made operational by the NHAI in 2017, with a project cost of Rs 34 crores. However, being a major flyover, the stretch is often frequented by heavy-duty vehicles, which cause a lot of noise pollution, thus disturbing the nearby residential areas. While the permissible sound level is restricted to 45-50 decibels, the sound emitted from these vehicles often crosses 80 decibels, which is highly disruptive for the people residing in this area, which consists of sectors 14 and 17. To prevent such noise pollution, PWD minister, Shri Rao Narbir Singh has directed the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to install sound barriers in and around the MDI flyover. After a successful meeting, NHAI started the installation process on 10th July, 2018. The sound barrier installation process costs approximately Rs 5.5 crores and is estimated to get completed by the end of August. Bloom Companies LLC, a Gurgaon-based engineering/architecture firm, is hired by the NHAI as consultant for this project. Mr Saurabh Singhal, team leader and traffic transportation expert at Bloom Companies, said the sound barriers will reduce the noise levels at MP Chowk Flyover, MDI industrial area and sectors 14 and 17. The 75 dB noise level will be reduced to 25 dB, shutting out major noise generated from the traffic, thus bringing relief to the residents. The sound barriers are made from aluminium, galvanized steel and a special solid polycarbonate sheet, which will deflect some noise, while absorbing the rest, thus minimizing the noise pollution. The barriers will be installed in areas which are precariously close to the flyover. With NHAI having taken up this project, it has served as a relief to the affected residents. #NHAI #MDIFlyover #NoisePollution #SoundBarriers
