BJP MP from Meerut Rajendra Agarwal inaugurated the fifth phase of the Meerut-Delhi Expressway (MDE) at Khanpur village of the district on Sunday.
The national highway authority of India (NHAI) will construct the 14-km long road to connect the Expressway to Hapur road in Meerut. Presently, the E-way has connectivity through Delhi road, and a large population of Shastri Nagar, Jagriti Vihar, Saket and commuters from Bijnor, Pauri area take a longer route to reach MDE.
Aggarwal said that it was a long pending demand to connect E-way to Hapur road to provide easy access to the population residing in localities away from Delhi road and commuters from Bijnor and adjoining areas.
