To make delhi and NCR free from jam, a meeting was held recently between Union Transport minister Nitin Gadkari and chief minister Rekha Gupta, in which the construction of 2 major road projects has been approved at a cost of about Rs 10,000 crore. A 17 km long new highway connecting Urban Extension Road 2 (UER 2) near Tronica City to Delhi-Dehradun Expressway has been approved.

After completion, this project will reduce the traffic load on internal roads, reducing the pressure on National Highway-48, National Highway-44, Ring Road and Barapullah Elevated Corridor. The estimated construction cost of the project is Rs 3,300 crore.

Another project approved from Tronica City

According to officials, connecting UER 2 to Delhi-Dehradun (which starts near Akshardham Temple) will provide faster connectivity to vehicles coming from haryana and Rajasthan, which leads to Dehradun. Another project to build a 65-km long highway connecting Tronica City to the under-construction Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad Expressway or FNG Expressway has been approved.

The project will connect 5 major routes of NCR

According to the plan, this highway will connect five major routes of NCR (Delhi-Dehradun Expressway, Delhi-Meerut Expressway, Noida-Greater noida Expressway, DND-Faridabad Highway and yamuna Expressway). The document said, "This national highway will provide connectivity to NCR cities like Loni, Baghpat, Ghaziabad, noida and faridabad along with north and south-west Delhi. This will help decongest internal roads and city centres like Sarai Kale Khan section and Kalindi Kunj and provide an alternative for inter-city and goods traffic.
