GMADA has constructed an 8,785-metre stretch of the PR-7 road—200 feet wide—connecting New Sunny Enclave to the PR-4 road in New Chandigarh, providing direct connectivity from Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport without travelers needing to pass through Chandigarh.

For New Chandigarh residents, this project solves a decade-long pain point. Commuters from Mohali and Kharar now have a more direct route to New Chandigarh, bypassing the need to pass through Chandigarh. The 9-kilometer bypass starting from Sector 120/125 in Sunny Enclave and concluding at PR-4 in New Chandigarh reduces the distance between the two towns by around 5 kilometers.

Traffic congestion relief is the key benefit. The original PR-7 suffered from congestion due to connections with Zirakpur, Ambala, Aerocity, and IT City, while accommodating traffic from Delhi and Haryana heading to Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir, and Himachal Pradesh, and serving as a crucial link between Mohali, Zirakpur, New Chandigarh, and parts of Himachal Pradesh.

A shorter alternative route from Mohali side became operational by May 31, 2026, marking a significant development in airport connectivity after decade-old litigation. The new shortcut route reduces the distance from Chandigarh to the airport by approximately 3.5 kilometers, thereby decreasing travel time.

For homebuyers in New Chandigarh sectors, the implications are substantial. Airport proximity now translates to real accessibility—no longer a theoretical distance on a map. Property values in sectors closer to this new road corridor have been gaining investor interest. The improved connectivity also enhances the township's appeal to professionals working in Aerocity, IT City, and other employment hubs across the region.

GMADA's investment in this infrastructure signals confidence in New Chandigarh's growth trajectory. As more residents move to newer sectors and the township expands, direct airport and highway access becomes the differentiator between a bedroom community and a truly connected urban center.
