Centre Approves Rs 3.25 Bn Highway Linking South Haryana to Rajasthan

The central government has sanctioned a Rs 3.25-billion four-lane highway project to connect Nuh in south Haryana with Ferozepur Jhirka and Alwar in Rajasthan, marking a significant step toward improving regional connectivity and road safety.

The 45-kilometre stretch, part of National Highway 248A, will feature nine flyovers, six underpasses, and bypasses at Malab and Bhadas. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has already released tenders, with project completion targeted within two years.

The corridor is expected to enhance safety along a stretch known for high accident rates, having recorded over 2,500 fatalities over the past 12 years.

Union Minister Rao Inderjit Singh underlined the initiative’s broader impact, stating, “The project is not just about a road; it’s about giving the people of this region better connectivity, safety and opportunities they’ve long been denied.”

Originally proposed in 2019 at an estimated cost of Rs 1.86 billion, the project was paused due to overlapping plans for the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. With a renewed focus and revised budget, the Centre has now revived the plan with updated specifications.
