Panipat Railway Overbridge Approved to Ease Traffic
The Haryana government has approved a new railway overbridge in Panipat to reduce traffic congestion between GT Road and NH-709.
The Haryana government has officially granted administrative approval for a new Panipat railway overbridge, a vital project set to alleviate the severe traffic congestion currently experienced on the route connecting GT Road to NH-709.
Parallel Construction to Ease Dahar Route
To ensure maximum efficiency and relief for commuters, the new infrastructure will be constructed parallel to the existing railway overbridge via Dahar. This strategic decision comes as a response to the massive surge in vehicle volume on the route toward the Gohana and NH-709 corridors, which has frequently resulted in frustrating and lengthy traffic jams.
CM Saini Mandates Quality and Timely Completion
The approval was formalized during a high-level meeting held in Chandigarh on Monday, November 3, 2026. Chaired by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, the meeting of the High Powered Purchase Committee (HPPC) and the High Powered Works Purchase Committee (HPWPC) paved the way for this essential development.
During the proceedings, Chief Minister Saini issued strict directives to the relevant authorities. He emphasized that the construction must adhere to the highest quality standards and must be completed within the stipulated timelines. Furthermore, he instructed officials to maintain regular monitoring of the project to ensure that the infrastructure benefits are delivered to the public without any unnecessary delays.
A Long-Awaited Demand for Regional Connectivity
The project has been a significant priority for local leadership. Panipat City MLA Pramod Vij has been a vocal advocate for the construction of this second bridge, highlighting its necessity for improving regional connectivity and resolving the daily travel delays that have long impacted local residents.
