Northern Peripheral Road will pass below Delhi-Meerut e-way; NHAI gives approval

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), in a meeting held Tuesday, allowed the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) to take its 19km Northern Peripheral Road (NPR) below the elevated sections of Phase 4 of the Delhi-Meerut Expressway.

The NHAI, on January 2, had refused the integration of Phase 4 of the Delhi-Meerut expressway, which will be an access-controlled stretch, with the NPR project.

After the authority’s proposal was rejected, the GDA officials once again tried to revive the integration of NPR with Phase 4 of Delhi-Meerut Expressway during Tuesday’s meeting, but their proposal was summarily rejected by the NHAI.
