The Central Government has approved a Rs 720.67 crore project to improve road connections and traffic safety in Dehradun district, Uttarakhand.

This plan focuses on upgrading the Dehradun–Lal Tappar–Nepali Farm section of National Highway 7 and the Nepali Farm–Motichur section of National Highway 7 and the Nepali Farm–Motichur section of National Highway 34. This covers a total distance of 36.82 kilometers.

According to the Uttarakhand Chief Minister’s Office, the project will include important road improvements like separate levels at busy intersections and building service roads to keep local and through traffic apart. These changes aim to reduce traffic jams and accidents, making travel quicker and safer.
 

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, for approving the project. He stressed that this development will not only make it easier to get between Dehradun, Haridwar, and Rishikesh but also make the Chardham Yatra route more accessible
