National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has approached the Delhi high court for its early order on a petition, which has held up awarding of work to widen a crucial portion of NH-24, the main highway connecting Delhi with Uttar Pradesh.
Delhi HC had held the final hearing in December on the petition filed by a road developer, who was disqualified by NHAI during the bidding process for the stretch between Delhi Border and Dasna. But the court has reserved the order.
The 19.3 km stretch is the most congested and passes through residential and commercial areas such as Indirapuram and sector-62, Noida.
To realize the ambitious widening of road from the Nizamuddin Bridge to Hapur, NHAI has divided the entire stretch into three sections for faster execution. While Nizamuddin Bridge to Dasna stretch will be made 14-lane, Dasna to Hapur stretch will be converted into six-lane.
While the works on Nizamuddin Bridge to Delhi Border and Dasna to Hapur have already started, the remaining portion – Delhi Border to Dasna stretch is yet to be awarded. It has been delayed several times in the past 13 months because of lukewarm response from the bidders. Melvin Ingram Authentic Jersey
