A word from the authorities
According to reports, the project will involve the construction of an elevated road on the route, and a new tunnel near Mohand (Dehradun outskirts). Some parts of the highway may pass through Uttar Pradesh. SS Sandhu, Chairman of the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) said that he is currently seeking help from the Uttarakhand CM to convince the UP government for clearance of forests and other environmental aspects to expedite the project.
There’s more coming in the future!
Many projects are being handled by the National Highway Authority of India simultaneously. The Delhi-Mumbai expressway is expected to finish within the next three years. It will shorten the distance between the two cities by 280 km and the time taken for a road journey to 12 hours. Stay tuned for more updates on the same!
