Frequently asked questions
What is the route of the Meerut–Haridwar expressway?
It is planned via Bijnor to Haridwar. Whether it starts in Meerut or Bulandshahr district has been described differently in reports; the DPR will fix the alignment.
How long is the Meerut–Haridwar expressway?
The length has not yet been published in a form we could verify. It will be set in the detailed project report.
When will construction start?
No date has been announced. The UP Cabinet approved the project in August 2026, and the detailed project report is the next step, followed by land acquisition and tendering.
Is land along the Haridwar spur notified?
Not that we have seen. Until the DPR fixes the alignment, any claim that a plot is "on the Haridwar expressway" cannot be checked. Be cautious with such claims and ask for the official alignment.
