Finally, the much-awaited partially-access controlled four-lane elevated highway corridor in Ludhiana opened for traffic on Monday, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has claimed.
While vehicles started moving on the first span of the Rs 756.27-crore big ticket project this morning onwards, vehicular movement on the rest of the entire 12.95-km-long stretch would be allowed by September 30, officials have revealed.
The development assumes significance as the work on one of the busiest arteries of the city had already missed three deadlines of completion in April 2020, June 30 and July 31, 2023.
