Construction of Ludhiana-Ropar expressway picks up pace after delays

The construction of the Ludhiana-Ropar expressway has picked up pace after much delay, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has confirmed.

The 104.44-km-long greenfield project, which includes a 19.5-km spur from Pipalmajra to Kharar with Ludhiana bypass, is being built at a cost of Rs 2,857.14 crore.

The 37.7-km stretch under Package 1 has achieved 6 per cent completion, while the land acquisition for the remaining 47.24-km stretch is underway.

The progress of the project has been slow due to stiff resistance by farmers to part away with their land.

However, the situation has improved in recent months, and the NHAI is confident that the project will be completed on time.

The expressway will connect Ludhiana, Ropar and Mohali districts, and is expected to reduce travel time and improve connectivity in the region.

It will also boost economic activity in the region by providing a better transportation corridor for goods and people.

The NHAI is hopeful that the expressway will be completed by the end of 2024.
