Chandigarh-Ambala Greenfield Corridor Nears Completion

The Rs 31.67 billion Chandigarh-Ambala Greenfield Corridor, spanning 61.23 km over 395 hectares, is nearing completion and is set to transform traffic movement across Chandigarh, Zirakpur, Panchkula, Mohali and Kharar. The six-lane expressway will also strengthen links from Delhi and Haryana to Chandigarh, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir.

Progress and Timelines
Package-2, covering 31.23 km from IT City Chowk in Mohali to Kurali on the Kurali-Siswan road, is 95 per cent complete and scheduled to open next month. Package-1, stretching 30 km from Devinagar village on the Ambala-Hisar road to IT City Chowk, is 65 per cent complete and expected to open by March next year.

Design and Infrastructure
Package-1, costing Rs 16.42 billion, includes 43.42 km of service and slip roads, seven vehicular underpasses, one vehicular overpass, 10 large and two small vehicular underpasses, seven flyovers, two major bridges, and six minor bridges. Package-2, known as the Mohali-Kurali bypass, spans 215 hectares, bypassing NH-205-A to decongest urban centres and improve access to Mohali International Airport.

Connectivity and Impact
The expressway will cut congestion in Mohali, Kharar and Kurali, while offering direct high-speed access to Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir. It will also connect with other major projects including the Zirakpur bypass, Pinjore-Baddi-Nalagarh road, and the Siswan highway.

Economic and Regional Growth
Officials highlight that the project is already driving real estate growth in IT City Mohali, New Chandigarh, Kharar, and Kurali. The corridor is expected to significantly reduce travel time between Chandigarh and Delhi and improve logistics across the region.
