Uttarakhand Approves Extension of Ganga Expressway from Meerut to Haridwar
The Uttarakhand Cabinet approved a Memorandum of Understanding with Uttar Pradesh to extend the 594-km Ganga Expressway from Meerut to Haridwar. This extension aims to enhance connectivity, reduce travel time between Prayagraj and Haridwar to 7-8 hours, and boost religious tourism, industrial investment, trade, and employment. The expressway, currently under construction between Meerut and Prayagraj, is a key infrastructure project expected to improve logistics and economic activity across multiple districts. Additionally, Uttarakhand plans to allocate land for a new High Court complex in Haldwani.
