A new highway originating in Mohali is slated to be operational by the end of September, officials say.
The Punjab government has announced that a new highway will commence from Mohali, aiming to improve regional connectivity. Construction work, which began earlier this year, is progressing on schedule, and officials anticipate that the road will be ready for public use by the end of September.
The project is part of a broader effort to decongest existing routes and support the growing traffic demand in the Chandigarh‑Mohali urban corridor. Once opened, the highway is expected to reduce travel time for commuters and facilitate smoother movement of goods.
Authorities have not disclosed the exact length or the final destination of the highway, but they emphasized that the infrastructure will meet national safety standards. The opening date will be confirmed once final inspections are completed.
