Nitin Gadkari, Minister for Road Transport and Highways, told the media that National highways are boosting at a remarkable speed under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

NH-334B is nearly completed with approximately 93% progress and is aimed for an early completion by three months in January next year.

He told the media that the NH-334B, which begins at Uttar Pradesh or Haryana border (Baghpat) and ends at Rohna, would render smooth connectivity from Uttar Pradesh to the Rajasthan border through Haryana, guaranteeing users can avoid Delhi traffic. The Minister notified that the NH-334B additionally crosses NH-44 rendering direct access to commuters to Delhi and Chandigarh.

NHAI is mandated to implement National Highways Development Project (NHDP) which is India’s largest ever Highways Project in a phased manner. The National Highways have a total length of 1,32,499 km to serve as the arterial network of the country.
