The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) plans to complete the 32km long Delhi-Baghpat section of the proposed Delhi-Dehradun national highway expressway by the end of December 2023.
The Delhi to Baghpat section is proposed to be built with 12 lanes, with six lanes dedicated to long-distance travellers.
The 32 km section has been divided into two phases: a 15 km stretch from Delhiâs Akshardham to Loni in Uttar Pradesh (UP) and a 17 km stretch from Loni to Baghpat, reports
GHAZIABAD: It’s a habit as old as the old four-lane road, NH-24, ran through these parts. The four lanes have now become 14, with a six-lane expressway running within this behemoth, and new underpasses to cross over. But nothing has deterred the jaywalkers, not the highway’s wide span, not the climb over a concrete verge, not the fear of onrushing vehicles.
But the new iron barriers might just do the job. Designed to dissuade the most resolute of jaywalkers, highway managers appear confident it makes the challenge of crossing the highway on foot an insurmountable one. The barriers – grilles clamped to the concrete verge – are being installed at three points notorious for jaywalking: Noida Sector 62, Shani Mandir near Chijarsi and Vijay Nagar. The barriers are 5-feet high and will be placed on 3-feet-high concrete slabs.
GHAZIABAD: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is planning to introduce a toll system for vehicles travelling on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway (DME) from the second week of July.
Officials at the authority said a trial run for the toll collection system was concluded recently and they have sent a proposal to the Union road transport and highways ministry with all details, including the rates.Toll will be collected through FASTags and between Sarai Kale Khan and Meerut, eight collection points have been proposed. Of them, five are in Ghaziabad itself. The entire six-lane corridor became operational in April.
“The road between Sarai Kale Khan and Meerut has been developed in three phases. The first is from Sarai Kale Khan to UP Gate, the second phase is from UP Gate to Dasna and the final phase is from Dasna to Meerut,” said Mudit Garg, project director, NHAI. “We were not charging toll all this while because we were waiting for the whole stretch to become operation
