In the presence of Haryana Chief Minister Shri Manohar Lal Khattar, Deputy Chief Minister Shri Dushyant Chautala, and other MPs, MLAs, and officials, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Shri Nitin Gadkari officially opened and laid the cornerstone for four National Highway projects at Sonepat, Karnal, and Ambala in Haryana, totaling Rs 3,835 crore.

Better access to the economic hubs of Haryana, Punjab, and Jammu & Kashmir will be made possible by the construction of 11 flyovers along the 24-kilometer, eight-lane National Highway 44 from Delhi to Panipat in Sonepat at a cost of Rs. 890 crores. This route will connect industrial and agricultural sectors, easing the movement of goods and finished goods, from Delhi to Panipat. The Delhi-Panipat corridor will facilitate travel to and from Jammu and Kashmir as well as to and from Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and other states.

The 35 km, 6-lane Karnal Greenfield Ring Road, which was built at a cost of Rs. 1690 crore, is not only a road; it will be essential for the future growth and prosperity of the area. It would avoid the gridlock in Karnal City and offer commuters going to Jammu, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Southern Haryana a simple and practical option, lowering pollution and accidents in the area.

In Ambala, Haryana, Shri Gadkari also inaugurated and laid the cornerstone for two NH projects costing Rs. 1255 crore.
