The Union transport ministry has cleared a plan to build a 155-km corridor between Akshardham in east Delhi and Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh. The corridor, which will pass through Loni near the Delhi-Ghaziabad border, will decongest the east Delhi areas and allow commuters to reach the Saharanpur-bound National Highway (NH-709B) from the NH-24 directly. Currently, commuters from western Uttar Pradesh have to pass through the areas such as Shastri Park, New Usmanpur, Khajuri Khas and Bhajanpura to reach Saharanpur highway that starts at Loni.

After years of delay, Barapullah Road Phase III might get back on track as the Delhi government has ordered to purchase plots on Yamuna riverbed that are holding up the construction. These two parcels of land are currently owned by farmers and fall in the alignment of the bridge between Sarai Kale Khan and Mayur Vihar.

The Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran on January 9 opened a five-kilometre road that would end the trouble of the residents living in new Gurgaon sectors. This four-lane road connecting the Southern Peripheral Expressway with the National Highway-48 will now allow commuters to reach Manesar and Sectors 81 to 95 without having to pay a toll.

The policy is aimed at fast tracking work on infrastructure projects in the state that have been delayed due to land acquisition issues. The policy, when launched, will cut down the compensation negotiations with the farmers, which has been a major cause of delay in acquisition. Moreover, a major share of project cost, which goes as compensation to the farmers, could now be saved. At present, there are over 350 infrastructure projects in the state that are stalled because of land acquisition issues.

While process is on to acquire land for the Delhi-Mumbai Express Highway, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on December 25 approved a plan to extend it to the Ring Road near the DND flyway. To do that, the NHAI will build a six-lane 59-km access-controlled road from the Western Peripheral Expressway (WPE) near Sohna that will also bring Manesar closer to the national capital. The Delhi-Mumbai Express Highway, the access-controlled highway that is being built under the Bharatmala Pariyojna Programme, will connect India's national and financial capitals, and will reduce the travel time between the two cities from 20 hours to a mere 12 hours.
