The Toll Plaza being constructed on National Highway-1, near village Kurad in Sonipat disrict, would be started for the six-lane project completed between Delhi border and Panipat in 2010, a senior Haryana Government official said on Sunday.
It has no connection with the eight-lane project which is scheduled to be completed by March, 2019 after which it will be handed over to the company working on the eight-lane project. Going by the rules, it should have been installed in 2010.
Sonipat Deputy Commissioner, K Makrand Pandurang, said work on the 56.7 km-long project was completed in three parts from Delhi border to Panipat in 2010. According to the rules of the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), whenever any road is converted from four to six lanes, a toll plaza will be mandatorily installed. The toll plaza on the six-lane road is now being installed near village Kurad.
