FOUR-LANING OF DELHI-MEERUT-HARIDWAR- GANGOTRI
HIGHWAY
Rajya
Sabha
Delhi-Meerut-Haridwar
is National Highway No.58. The road portion from Delhi-Meerut
is an existing 4-lane facility. The road from Meerut (Km.52/2)
to near Rishikesh (km.216) is envisaged to be 4-laned on Built-Operate-Transfer
(BOT) basis for which preparation of Detailed Project Report is
in progress. Beyond km.216 (NH-58) up to Gangotri (i.e. NH-94
and NH-108), there is no proposal for 4-laning as on date.
It is too early
to indicate the date of commencement/completion of work as at
present the Detailed Project Report is not ready.
This information
was given by the Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Road
Transport and Highways, Maj. Gen. (Retd.) B.C. Khanduri in a written
reply to a question of Shri Harish Rawat in Rajya Sabha today.
