New Delhi, July 16 (KNN) Government today approved the six laning of Eastern peripheral expressway (National Highway Number NE-II) in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has given its approval for development of the six laning of Eastern peripheral expressway.
The cost is estimated to be Rs 7558 crore including Rs 1795.20 crore for land acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitation and other pre-construction activities. The total length of the road will be approximately 135 kms. This work will be under the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) basis.
The main object of the project is to expedite improvement of infrastructure in the States of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
“The road is a peripheral road around Delhi, so that the traffic which is not destined for Delhi, does not pass through this city. This avoids congestion and pollution in the city. The development of this stretch will also help in uplifting the socio-economic condition of the concerned regions of the State and would also increase employment potential for local labourers for project activities,” the Cabinet release said.
