🧠 Did You Know?
India’s widest road is the Delhi–Meerut Expressway (NH-334), specifically its initial stretch starting from Nizamuddin Bridge in Delhi.
This section features a 14-lane design, making it the widest expressway corridor in the country.
That’s 7 lanes in each direction, including dedicated service lanes, bus lanes, and high-speed FASTag lanes.
🛣️ Why So Many Lanes?
- The Delhi–Meerut corridor connects Delhi NCR to Uttar Pradesh — a super-congested region with thousands of daily commuters.
- The project was designed to cut down travel time from over 2.5 hours to just 50 minutes.
- It was India’s first expressway with dedicated cycling and walking tracks, showcasing modern urban planning.
This mega-road is not just wide — it’s smart, fast, and eco-conscious.
📊 Key Features
- 14 lanes (including service lanes)
- Cycle track and footpath on both sides
- LED street lighting, automated tolls, and noise barriers
- Real-time traffic surveillance systems
While other wide roads like Mumbai’s Eastern Express Highway or Chennai’s Mount Road are large, none surpass NH-334 in planned, multilane width.
