Sohna Elevated Corridor [1] or Sohna Road is a long, access controlled, six-lane wide elevated expressways in Gurgaon of Haryana, India. The project has been completed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) at an estimated cost of ₹1,466 crore. It was fully opened for public on 11 July 2022.[2]

A major mishap during project execution happened on 22 August 2020, when a section of the under-construction flyover came crashing down. The cause of this collapse was attributed to the caving in of three recently installed girders between two pillars. The accident spot is close to the Vipul Greens residential apartment complex on Sohna Road and is located in a high-traffic zone. However, owing to partial lock-down measures enforced by the Government of Haryana, many businesses and leisure outlets were closed at that time. This helped in avoiding fatalities and in keeping the casualty figure low. According to Gurgaon Police, two labourers suffered minor injuries and there were no injuries among pedestrians or people in passing vehicles.[4]
