NHAI Builds 12-Km Bypass to Connect Delhi-Dehradun Economic Corridor by 2027

The National Highways Authority of India is constructing a 12-km, four-lane, access-controlled bypass connecting the Delhi-Dehradun Economic Corridor to reduce traffic congestion in Dehradun. The greenfield project, costing around Rs 716 crore with 44% progress, links Jhajhra to the Paonta Saheb-Ballupur section of NH-7 and ends near Asharori Check Post. Expected by April 2027, it aims to divert non-destined traffic, improve regional connectivity to northern states, and support urban mobility and tourism in Uttarakhand.
