MoRTH approves ₹3,400-cr for Delhi-Meerut Expressway
The Union transport ministry has approved the first package of a six-lane access-controlled highway, which will be part of the direct and seamless connectivity from Delhi-Meerut Expressway at Akshardham to Dehradun. The NHAI Board gave the go-ahead to the highways authority to award the work for 31.6 km section from Akshardham to the Eastern Peripheral Expressway (EPE) at Khekra near Baghpat. The stretch will pass through east and north-east Delhi and Loni. It is being developed at an investment of ₹3,400 crore approved by the ministry. Nearly 17 km of this 31.6 km stretch will be elevated and while six-lanes will be access-controlled for through traffic, there will be three-lane of service road on each side for local traffic. The first section of this 210 km corridor up to Dehradun will decongest north-east Delhi. The foundation stone for this was laid on January 26 last year. The entire 210 km stretch from Delhi to Dehradun has been approved as an economic corridor under the Bharatmala highway development program.
