It will enable vehicles traveling between the Delhi side and Paonta Sahib / Selaqui Industrial Area (and vice-versa) to bypass entry into central Dehradun, thus reducing urban traffic and pollution. � DNP INDIA 📍 Route & Length The link road will run from Asharori (near the RTO check post) through rural and forested areas to Jhajra, where it connects with the Dehradun–Paonta Sahib Highway. Total length is approximately 12.17 km. � DNP INDIA 🚗 Road Specifications It is planned as a new 4-lane road, constructed entirely as a greenfield alignment (i.e., a new route, not widening an existing one). The road will include bridges and flyovers as needed to improve safety and connectivity. � Oneindia Hindi 💰 Project Funding The Central Government has sanctioned approximately ₹715.97 crore for the project’s development. This funding support was acknowledged by Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, who thanked the Government of India and relevant ministries for approval. � Oneindia Hindi 📈 Implementation and Contracting The project is being managed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) under an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contract. A formal bid/tender had been issued for contractors to undertake the 12.22 km development, with provisions for construction and future maintenance. � BIMS 🏙️ Why It Matters Locally 🚙 Traffic & Pollution Relief Once completed, the link road will significantly reduce through-traffic within Dehradun, especially for vehicles destined for Selaqui, Paonta Sahib, Ballupur, or beyond. This is expected to ease peak congestion and lower pollution in urban areas. � DNP INDIA 🌾 Land & Environment The road passes through rural and lightly populated areas, and parts of the alignment involve forest and agricultural land, so land acquisition and clearances are part of the implementation process. � Uttarakhand Raibar 📆 Project Status Tendering and bidding phases have progressed; implementation and construction timelines depend on contractor appointment and site mobilization under NHAI supervision. � BIMS 🧭 Summary Attribute Details Name Jhajra–Asharori Link Road Length ~12.17 km Type 4-lane greenfield road Authority NHAI (EPC contract) Cost ~₹715.97 crore (approved) Purpose Bypass Dehradun, reduce congestion & pollution Connectivity Asharori (RTO area) → Jhajra → Dehradun–Paonta Sahib Highway If you want, I can also share project status updates, key maps/routes, or land acquisition information for the Jhajra–Asharori Link
