In 2018, NH length has reached 3,492 km. The completion of the Delhi-Meerut Expressway and Delhi Saharanpur Highway will result in greater savings in time, cost and fuel for Uttarakhand bound vehicles.

A total of Rs. 30,000 Cr worth investments will be made towards road development in the State. “When a network of good roads is created, the economy of the country also picks up pace. Roads are veins and arteries of the nation, which help to transform the pace of development and ensure that prosperity reaches the farthest corners of our nation.” NARENDRA MODI Prime Minister “In the past four years, we have expanded the length of Indian National Highways to 1,26,350 km. The highway sector has seen a 20% growth between 2014 and 2018. Tourist destinations have come closer. Border, tribal and backward areas are being connected seamlessly.

Despite being the spiritual heart of India, these roads had not been developed until four years ago. The route would remain cut o¢ at many places during the rainy season due to heavy landslides. Integrated development of the Char Dham has been planned as a solution to these challenges. Projects spanning 900 km of National Highways worth Rs. 12,000 Cr are being developed to bring safe, all weather connectivity to the region. The new highways will be 2 laned with paved shoulders and a minimum width of 10 m.
