Union Minister for
Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari inspected the Faridabad Bypass
Site and the construction of Package 1 & 2 of DND Sohna Highway on National
Highway-148 NA including spur of Delhi Mumbai Expressway today. The project spans 33
km, with a cost of Rs 3565 Crore, developing under Bharatmala Pariyojana on
Hybrid Annuity Mode.
This expansive infrastructure initiative seamlessly interlinks major
highways—Direct Noida Delhi flyways, Delhi-Meerut, Kundli-Manesar -Palwal
(KMP), NH-2 (Delhi-Agra), Delhi Mumbai Expressway, and Jewar airport
connectivity highway.
Encompassing a 6-lane access-controlled highway with 3-lane service
roads on both sides in the brownfield stretch, the urban project integrates 8
elevated sections (total length 12.034 km), 10 flyovers, 6 VUPs, 11 LVUPs, 13
Minor Bridges, 1 ROB, 1 RUB, 6 Bus Bays, and 102 box culverts.
Spanning over Metro Line at 4 locations at a maximum height of about 27
m, it incorporates vertical gardening on piers for aesthetic, physiological,
economical, and environmental advantages. A noise barrier along elevated sections
mitigates noise pollution, while 10 hectares of barren land, once used for fly
ash dumping will undergo plantation for a jungle safari project initiated by
the Delhi government.
As the NDA government is nearing its second term starting 2014, Nitin
Gadkari has proved to be one of the most efficient, active and hands on
minister in the last 10 years. He has not only lived up to the expectations of
the stakeholders – residents and infrastructure user, engineers, contractors,
policymakers and of course his PM also. His passion and interest in infrastructure,
energy, environment, water and waste management has led to many projects been
lot more sustainable that they otherwise would have been.
As we mentioned earlier tons of waste from the garbage hills of Delhi –
Ghazipur, Okhla and Bhalaswa have used in the construction in these as well as
some other road projects.
