The Centre on Tuesday announced the development of a new Greenfield connectivity to Amritsar City from Nakodar via Sultanpur Lodhi, Goindwal Sahib, Khadoor Sahib as part of Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway.
Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said the road from Amritsar to Gurdaspur would also be fully developed and made completely signal free.
The travel time from Amritsar to Delhi International airport would also be reduced to about four hours from the present about eight hours.
Gadkari said this greenfield alignment will not only provide shortest and alternate express connectivity to Amritsar city but also to other religious centres of Sultanpur Lodhi, Goindwal Sahib, Khadoor Sahib as well as the recently developed Dera Baba Nanak/Kartarpur Sahib International Corridor in Punjab.
