NHAI nears completion of Ghaziabad's Grand Trunk Road revamp

Officials familiar with the matter revealed that the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is on the verge of finalising the comprehensive project report (CPR) concerning the revitalisation of a 14-kilometer segment of Ghaziabad's Grand Trunk Road (GT Road). The undertaking, estimated at a cost of Rs 3.95 billion, will encompass multiple facets of development, including a budget of approximately Rs 1.1 billion allocated for the relocation of utilities, a responsibility slated for state government departments to oversee.

This bustling 14-kilometer expanse interlinks the Gyani Border in close proximity to Delhi with the Lal Kuan junction, encompassing pivotal urban intersections, including the heavily congested Chaudhary Morh. This strip of road accommodates a host of malls, significant markets, commercial hubs, eateries, and retail establishments. The GT Road tract serves as a vital conduit for commuters heading towards Delhi, Gautam Budh Nagar, National Highway 9/Delhi-Meerut Expressway, in addition to the Delhi-Meerut Road and Hapur Road.

According to an NHAI official who opted for anonymity, "The comprehensive expense of the venture is approximated at Rs 3.95 billion, with Rs 1.1 billion of that sum earmarked for utility relocation. State government entities will take charge of this relocation process, which could potentially involve clearing encroachments. Our aim is to finalise the requisite alterations within a fortnight and initiate the tendering phase."

Among the notable elements of this redevelopment initiative are the incorporation of two novel flyovers, an elevated corridor spanning 1.5 kilometres, road broadening, the construction of pedestrian overpasses, and an enhancement of the overall aesthetic. The vicinities flanking the GT Road, such as Delhi Gate, the vicinity of MMG Hospital, and Ghanta Ghar, contend with a substantial number of encroachments. Clearing these encroachments poses a formidable challenge for authorities in their endeavour to expand the existing four-lane road.
