The Uttarakhand cabinet has cleared the extension of the Ganga Expressway from Meerut to Haridwar, approving a memorandum of understanding with Uttar Pradesh. Officials expect the travel time between the two cities to drop to around 90 minutes from the current three hours once the project is complete. The decision was taken at a cabinet meeting on Friday, as reported by the Times of India. The expressway is seen as a key infrastructure push for the region.
