Work set to begin on new link road to Mullanpur

CHANDIGARH: Work on the road to connect Dakshin Marg, Chandigarh, to New Chandigarh (Mullanpur) is all set to start this week with the UT engineering department allotting the construction work. The road will be constructed within six months at a cost of ₹7 crore.

The UT administration had taken possession of land for the project in Dadumajra on July 29.

With the construction of the 1.2km road, a second route from Chandigarh to New Chandigarh will be established, in addition to the road from Madhya Marg.

On the Mohali side, GMADA has constructed the PR4 master plan road, which will be connected to Dakshin Marg through this 1.2km road. Currently, commuters go through Sarangpur to reach New Chandigarh. The new road will shorten the distance between Chandigarh and Kurali by connecting NH 21 and Sector 39 through Kurali.
