After construction work for more than three years, the 22.30 km long six-lane national highway between Dasna to Hapur and a two-line service road have been completed on both sides. When it is ready, it has become very easy to go on the Moradabad route. Also, the way to Meerut via Hapur has become easier.
Except for the construction of Chijarasi toll near Pilkhuwa, civil work has been completed in the remaining part. Work is on to install a smart monitoring system on the National Highway constructed at a cost of Rs 1700 crore. Cameras will be installed within a month. After this, online challans will be deducted if you do not follow the over speed and transport rules. The second phase of this expressway will be completed by May 2020.
