Major Boost for Urban Connectivity in Haryana
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has officially approved a massive infrastructure expansion. Under this initiative, outer bypass routes and ring roads will surround every city with a population above 100,000.
The state government designed this plan to reduce severe traffic pressure inside growing urban centers. Heavy vehicle movement creates daily bottlenecks in core commercial districts. By diverting long-distance transit traffic, state highways will remain clear and safer.
The total outlay for these high-priority bypass works reaches approximately ₹9,700 crore. Construction will focus on strategic urban centers, including Hisar, Kurukshetra, Narnaul, Jind, and the Sohna-Palwal corridor.
“Creating outer transit loops guarantees smoother regional movement while keeping internal city roads free for local residents.” — Haryana Public Works Department (PWD)

Strategic Financial Model and Cost Sharing
Chief Minister Saini chaired a high-level administrative meeting at the state secretariat. Public Works Minister Ranbir Gangwa and Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi also joined the session.
The committee discussed the financial model for state contributions toward master plan highway developments. The Haryana ring roads project requires joint coordination between local bodies and central agencies.
To streamline funding, the Chief Minister directed the formation of a specialized three-member committee. This panel includes senior officers from the Finance Department, Public Works Department, and Urban Local Bodies Department. The committee will finalize cost-sharing details with the central government quickly.
| City / Project Corridor | Project Type | Length / Connecting Highway | Estimated Impact |
| Hisar Bypass | Ring Bypass | Connects NH-52 (Hisar-Rajgarh) to Delhi & Kaithal roads | Bypasses core city traffic entirely |
| Kurukshetra-Ladwa | DPR Completed | Major regional arterial bypass | Expedites pilgrimage and local travel |
| Narnaul City Bypass | City Bypass | 11 km link connecting State Highway to NH-148B | Reduces industrial freight congestion |
| Jind Outer Corridor | 4-Lane Ring | NH-352 outer bypass ring | Enhances central Haryana connectivity |
| Sohna-Palwal Link | Four-Lane Redesign | 24 km upgrade via NH-919 | Connects Delhi-Mumbai Expressway |
Key Transit Routes and Regional Impact
The newly sanctioned bypasses address critical bottlenecks across regional arterial routes. For instance, the Hisar bypass will seamlessly link the Hisar-Rajgarh Road (NH-52) with the Hisar-Delhi and Hisar-Kaithal corridors.
Detailed Project Reports (DPR) for the Kurukshetra-Ladwa bypass are already complete. Work on the ground will begin shortly. In Narnaul, an 11-kilometer city bypass will directly connect urban freight traffic to NH-148B.
Jind will receive a dedicated four-lane outer ring road along NH-352. Concurrently, the 24-kilometer Sohna-Palwal stretch on NH-919 will undergo complete redesigning and reconstruction into a four-lane highway.
Seamless Connectivity to Jewar International Airport
The Haryana ring roads project also prioritizes regional integration with major national transit corridors. Greenfield road networks will link the DND-Faridabad-Ballabhgarh bypass and the Western Peripheral Expressway (KMP) directly to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway.
This direct road grid offers fast connectivity to the upcoming Jewar International Airport in Noida. Furthermore, land acquisition costs for the Karnal Ring Road have already been transferred. The ongoing ring road linking Ambala City with Ambala Cantt is moving toward rapid completion.
Besides large bypass networks, the state approved rural road upgrades. A new Railway Underbridge (RUB) on Civil Station Road in Sirsa will eliminate daily railway level-crossing delays on the Rewari-Bathinda line.
Additional road widening projects in Mahendragarh will improve connectivity between rural villages and major trade hubs.
