Modi Inaugurates Project
With Prime Minister
Narendra Modi inaugurating the project for the broadening of the NH-24 from the
Nizamuddin Bridge in Delhi till Meerut, travelling by this highway will soon
become a hassle-free, smooth ride, thus making locations on this highway in
Ghaziabad, Dasna, Hapur etc. a swift and pleasurable expressway ride from the
heart of Delhi. NHAI officials indicate that the Delhi-Meerut expressway will
be implemented as the model for the country so that motorists do not face the
issues that they have faced on the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway.
With the
implementation of this project, lakhs of commuters of Delhi-NCR and Ghaziabad
will be saved from traffic jams and the long time they spend in
traveling.
The project to widen
the NH-24 is the country's first state-of-the-art expressway-cum-highway
project. Within 30 months,
this project will provide a 14-lane expressway to motorists from Nizamuddin
bridge in Delhi to Hapur via the UP Border and Dasna. This will include a
six-lane expressway in the middle, with a four lane highway on either side
making up the eight-lane highway. On both sides of the highway, there will be
footpaths for pedestrians and also cycle-tracks for cyclists. Crash-barriers
made of steel will segregate the expressway from the highway.
This project is being
implemented to international standards and will have many small and big
overbridges, underbridges, foot over-bridges, bus stands and bus shelters.
There will also be highway patrols, emergency care and tele-communications
services. It has been proposed to create rest areas for motorists at various
places.
Vehicles wishing to
use the expressway will pass through the electronic toll near Nizamuddin bridge
and Hapur. There will be Advanced Traffic Management System for enumerating the
number of vehicles.
The entire
Delhi-Meerut Expressway is 150 kilometers long and is having various parts. It
has been decided to initially implement the Nizamuddin-Hapur section, where the
traffic problems are the meximum. For the sake of convenience, this section is
divided into three packages, the first being from Nizamuddin to UP Border, the
second being from UP Border to Dasna, and the third being from Dasma to
Hapur.
It is understood that
the contract for the first two packages will be awarded within days, and for
the third package within a month. This entire fifty kilometers long section
will be implemented in thirty months.
The section beyond Hapur and upto Meerut will be implemented after the land
acquisition process is complete.
The package from the
Nizamuddin Bridge to the UP Border is 8.7 kilometers long and is being
constructed at a cost of Rs 663 crore. It includes a new overbridge to be
constructed at the UP Border. Also, the overbridges at Yamuna Setu, Akshardham,

bridges near the metro line and Ghazipur Nullah, the underpasses near Laxmi
Nagar, Patparganj and Ghazipur, and the overpasses near the Ring Road and near
Akshardham will all be made bigger.
The package from UP
Border to Dasna is 19.2 kilometers long and will include two big overbridges --
one near CISF-Vijay Nagar and the other near Lal Kuan. Several underpasses,
Footoverbridges and bus stands will be created in this package, including at
