Lok Sabha elections: BJP’s second list of candidates out, Khattar to contest from Karnal
Names of union ministers Nitin Gadkari and Piyush Goyal also feature in the second list of BJP's 72 Lok Sabha candidates.
Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Wednesday inspected the Faridabad Bypass site and the construction progress of Package 1&2 of DND Sohna Highway on National Highway-148 NA, including the spur of the Delhi Mumbai Expressway.
The Rs 3,565-crore project spans 33 km and is being developed under the Bharatmala Pariyojana on Hybrid Annuity Mode.
This expansive infrastructure initiative seamlessly interlinks major highways, including the Direct Noida Delhi flyways, Delhi-Meerut, Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP), NH-2 (Delhi-Agra), Delhi Mumbai Expressway, and Jewar airport connectivity highway.

Encompassing a 6-lane access-controlled highway with 3-lane service roads on both sides in the brownfield stretch, the urban project integrates 8 elevated sections (total length 12.034 km), 10 flyovers, 6 VUPs, 11 LVUPs, 13 minor bridges, 1 ROB, 1 RUB, 6 Bus Bays, and 102 box culverts.
Spanning over the Metro Line at 4 locations at a maximum height of about 27 metres, it incorporates vertical gardening on piers for aesthetic, physiological, economical, and environmental advantages.
A noise barrier along elevated sections mitigates noise pollution while 10 hectares of barren land, once used for fly ash dumping, undergo plantation for a jungle safari project initiated by the Delhi government.
