The Centre is keen to soon
complete the eastern and
western peripheral expressway
projects connecting NH-1, 2, 8
& 10 in Haryana and NH-2 &
NH-24 in Uttar Pradesh. The
Centre has asked the two states
to complete the projects by
sorting out all pending issues.
The 135-km Western
Peripheral Expressway between
Kundli and Palwal, which was
scheduled to complete in July
2009, is only 32 per cent
complete and is expected to
complete by this year-end.
Haryana State Industrial and
Infrastructure Development
Corporation has spent Rs 764
crore on acquisition of land, toll
plazas, relocation of utilities
and diversion of forest land for
this project.
The construction of the 105-km
Eastern Peripheral Expressway
from Kundli to Faridabad via
Ghaziabad and Noida is facing
land problems.
