NHAI Set to Transform Major Delhi Road Corridors

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has given its in-principle nod to assume control of three critical road corridors in Delhi, a move aimed at enhancing their maintenance, redesign, and regular upkeep, officials disclosed on Tuesday.

These stretches encompass the Mathura Road from Ashram to Badarpur Border, Old Delhi-Rohtak Road from Punjabi Bagh to Tikri Border, and the Mehrauli-Gurugram Road. Together, the 33 km span serves as crucial links between Delhi and adjacent areas, signaling potential relief for traffic congestion.

The handover of these roads by the Public Works Department (PWD) to NHAI is aligned with efforts to mitigate congestion through potential widening and better connectivity, including links to the Delhi-Noida-Direct (DND) Flyway. NHAI's intervention promises significant alleviation of traffic woes across these essential routes.
