NHAI has cleared a ₹4,000 crore project that includes faster connectivity to Chandigarh from Ludhiana. Ministry of Road Transport and Highways informed that this will be part of the upcoming Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway. The project, which is being developed under the flagship Bharatmala Pariyojana, will reduce travel time between Ludhiana and Chandigarh to less than one hour from 1.5 hours. It will also reduce travel time from IGI Delhi to Chandigarh Airport to two hours via Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II), Delhi-Katra Expressway. NHAI is developing the 670 km Delhi-Amritsar-Katra greenfield expressway, which would provide connectivity to Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Gurdaspur and Jammu. To provide express connectivity to Chandigarh from Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Amritsar, a greenfield spur from Ludhiana-Ropar road to Kharar (Chandigarh) has been approved. With this connectivity, the travel time between Chandigarh and Amritsar would reduce from four hours to two hours.
