Haryana Chief Minister Naib Saini recently announced plans for a new four-lane expressway that will connect the Kurukshetra Bypass, Ladwa Bypass, and Yamunanagar. The project was one of several infrastructure developments discussed during a meeting with Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari. This initiative aims to improve connectivity across Haryana, a state where every district has gained access to a four-lane highway over the past decade.
Major Highway Projects Receive Central Approval
The central government has given the green light to 12 key highway projects in Haryana. These approvals were finalized after a meeting between CM Saini and Nitin Gadkari on Wednesday. While briefing the media, CM Saini shared the details of these projects, emphasizing the government’s commitment to enhancing the state’s road infrastructure.
One of the most awaited developments is the construction of a four-lane expressway linking the Kurukshetra bypass with Ladwa and Yamunanagar. This project had been under consideration for a while, and now, the detailed project report (DPR) for this expressway is set to be prepared soon.
Faridabad to Jewar Airport Expressway to be Elevated
Another significant decision from the meeting is the approval for elevating a 12-kilometer stretch of the Faridabad-Jewar Airport expressway within Faridabad. This expressway, known as the Faridabad-Jewar greenfield project, will improve access for local residents. The demand for better connectivity from the people of Mohana has also been addressed, with an agreement reached to integrate their region into this project.
More Projects in the Pipeline: Shahabad-Panchkula and Gurugram Congestion Solutions
The state government has also announced the preparation of a DPR for a four-lane road that will connect Shahabad to Panchkula and extend to Dehradun and Haridwar. This will provide smoother travel for residents and visitors to these key cities.
To tackle traffic bottlenecks in Gurugram, a DPR will be prepared for a new route extending from National Mandela Marg in Delhi to MG Road, Rajiv Chowk, and Faridabad intersections. This is part of a larger plan to ease congestion between Gurugram’s Radisson Hotel Mahipalpur and Rajiv Chowk, which are frequently congested areas.
Additional Approved Projects
Several other infrastructure improvements have also been approved, including:
- The Gurugram-Farukhnagar-Jhajjar corridor will be enhanced, providing better connectivity in these regions.
- The Kherki Dola toll plaza will be revamped, with an interchange connecting it to Jammu Katra Road, designed similarly to the KMP-Gohana-Sonipat Highway.
- Plans have been approved to link Delhi Airport with Jammu Katra Airport, streamlining air travel between these destinations.
Further discussions involved the construction of a flyover near Dharuhera, with work expected to begin soon. Additionally, Haryana’s East-West Expressway, which will connect Dabwali to Panipat, is set to commence. This project is part of the government’s broader plan to ease traffic flow across the state.
Ring Road in Hisar to Combat Traffic
To alleviate traffic congestion in Hisar, a ring road will be built around the city. This new road will help reduce traffic jams and improve overall mobility in the region. With all these developments, the state’s road infrastructure is set for a significant upgrade, ensuring faster and more efficient travel for its residents.
These initiatives reflect the government’s commitment to creating a seamless and modern transportation network across Haryana, catering to both local and inter-state travel needs.
