Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone of the ambitious Chardham Mahamarg Vikas Pariyojna’on 27th
December, 2016 at Parade Ground in Dehradun. The project aims at
improving the connectivity to the Char Dham pilgrimage centres in the
Himalayas, making journey to these centres safer, faster and more
convenient.
The Chardham project includes developing 900 km of national highways
in Uttarakhand at a total cost of Rs. 12000 crores. Work for 17
projects worth Rs 3000 crores have already been sanctioned and tendered.
The entire length of the highways will be two-laned with paved shoulder
and with a minimum width of 10 metres. There
will be tunnels, bypasses, bridges, subways and viaducts to prevent
traffic bottlenecks. A team of experts have been engaged to identify
zones prone to landslides, and environment friendly techniques are being
incorporated in the design to make these zones safer.
