NHAI Directed to Expedite Delhi-Saharanpur Highway Project

22 Nov 2023 CW Team

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has received a directive from the Centre to accelerate the completion of the Delhi-Saharanpur Highway project, now set to be finalised by February 2024. The original completion target was linked to the Lok Sabha elections in 2024.

The highway project, estimated to cost around Rs 11 billion, has faced delays prompting the Centre to intervene and push for an expedited timeline. The new completion target reflects a commitment to meeting infrastructure goals within a more compressed timeframe.

The directive from the Centre highlights the importance of the timely completion for critical infrastructure projects, aligning with broader national development objectives. The Delhi-Saharanpur Highway holds strategic significance in enhancing connectivity and facilitating smoother transportation between the two regions.

As India continues its focus on expanding and upgrading its highway network, adherence to project timelines becomes crucial. The Centre's intervention serves as a proactive measure to ensure that the Delhi-Saharanpur Highway project aligns with the evolving needs of the country's transportation infrastructure, emphasising efficiency and timely delivery.
