(Under Hon'ble Chief Minister's Declaration No. 203/2017)

Location

The project is located in District Udham Singh Nagar, Uttarakhand. The specific stretch for widening is from GABA Check to DD Check (Kashipur Bypass) in Rudrapur city.

Background and Problem Statement

The road stretch from GABA Chowk to DD Chowk (Kashipur Bypass) in Rudrapur is a critical urban corridor.
