Did you know India’s widest road can accommodate up to 10+ lanes? Discover where it is, and why it matters, in today’s SpotGenie Facts.

🧠 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.
