Bypass between Sector 39, Chandigarh, and Khanpur

The district administration plans to construct a bypass between Sector 39, Chandigarh, and Khanpur to reduce traffic pressure on Mohali-Kharar stretch on NH-21.

For this, the administration has approached Punjab Infrastructure Development Board (PIDB) for the alignment study. While on one hand the new project is being initiated, on the other, the four laning of Mohali-Kharar stretch has been facing delay since a year as about 30 encroachments are yet to be removed near Kharar bus stand.

The four laning of Mohali-Kharar stretch will check the heavy traffic, as vehicles from Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Ludhiana and Ropar pass through it. Two years ago, the four laning project was started. The issue of Mohali-Kharar road widening project would be completed by September 4, 2010.The administration has decided to construct a bypass between Sector 39 (Maloya) and Kharar to reduce traffic congestion on NH-21.
