Centre Clears Rs 7.2 Billion for Dehradun Road Upgrade

The Central Government has approved a Rs 7.2 billion project to enhance road connectivity and traffic safety in Dehradun district, Uttarakhand. The initiative focuses on improving the Dehradun–Lal Tappar–Nepali Farm stretch of National Highway 7 and the Nepali Farm–Motichur section of National Highway 34, covering a total length of 36.82 kilometres.

According to the Uttarakhand Chief Minister’s Office, the project will include key infrastructure upgrades such as grade separation at busy intersections and the construction of service roads to segregate local and through traffic. These improvements aim to reduce congestion and accidents, making travel faster and safer.

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, for the approval. He emphasised that the development will not only improve connectivity between Dehradun, Haridwar and Rishikesh but also make the Chardham Yatra route more accessible.

CM Dhami noted that under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, infrastructure in Uttarakhand is progressing rapidly, and this project marks another major milestone in the state’s development journey.
