Punjab: 1,600-metre stretch of Kharar flyover opened to traffic

A 1,600-metre stretch of Kharar flyover has been opened to traffic. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is planning to open the road from Ludhiana by next month and the flyover is likely to be completed by mid-December.

A senior official of NHAI told The Indian Express that after opening the 1,600-metre stretch from Balongi, they would open the flyover from Ludhiana side by the end of next month which would be a major relief for commuters.

“We plan to open the flyover in three stages. In the first stage, we have opened the road from Balongi side. In the second stage we would open the flyover from Ludhiana side and in the third stage, the flyover would be opened from Ropar side,” the officer said, requesting anonymity.
