New Rs 325-Crore Four-Lane Highway To Connect South Haryana With Rajasthan

In a major infrastructure upgrade, the Centre has launched a Rs 325-crore highway project linking Nuh in south Haryana to Ferozepur Jhirka and Alwar in Rajasthan, reported The Times Of India.

The 45-km four-lane highway, part of NH-248A, will include nine flyovers, six underpasses, and bypasses at Malab and Bhadas.

The government has already released tenders and aims to complete the project within two years.

The highway aims to improve road safety on a stretch infamous for over 2,500 deaths in 12 years.

Union minister Rao Inderjit Singh highlighted the project’s importance, saying, “The project is not just about a road; it’s about giving the people of this region better connectivity, safety and opportunities they’ve long been denied.”

Initially proposed in 2019 at Rs 186 crore, the project was put on hold following construction plan for Delhi-Mumbai Expressway through the area. 

Now, with a renewed focus and an increased budget, the Centre has moved forward with a revised estimate of Rs 325 crore.
