Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday said that 60 per cent work on UER-II (Urban Extension Road-II) had been completed and the road would be ready for inauguration by October.
Developed on the outskirts of Delhi as part of the decongestion plan, it would be an alternative route for traffic coming from West and South Delhi, IGI Airport and Gurugram and headed towards NH-44, Chandigarh, Punjab and J&K. The NHAI has taken up the construction of UER-II in five packages.
Gadkari, who inspected the progress of the project at multiple locations, said Package 1, 2 & 3 (NH-344M) would serve as an additional western ring road, thereby decongesting NH-1 section between Mukarba Chowk and the Singhu border.
