The Vrindavan Bypass is strategically planned to connect Yamuna Expressway at Chhata to NH-19
2025.04.01 (Vrindavan Today News) In a significant infrastructural development, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has approved the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the construction of the Vrindavan Bypass, a crucial link between the Yamuna Expressway and National Highway-19 (NH-19). This approval was formally communicated to the Principal Secretary of the Uttar Pradesh Public Works Department through an official letter.
The Vrindavan Bypass is strategically planned to connect Yamuna Expressway at Chhata to NH-19. Designed by the Uttar Pradesh Braj Teerth Vikas Parishad, the project aims to streamline vehicular movement between the two major highways while minimizing congestion within Vrindavan city. Currently, travelers commuting between Yamuna Expressway and NH-19 must pass through Vrindavan, often encountering heavy traffic. This bypass will provide a seamless alternative route, ensuring a smoother travel experience for both daily commuters and pilgrims visiting the sacred town.
A Landmark Connectivity Initiative
This infrastructure project is poised to be the first of its kind, directly linking the Yamuna Expressway and NH-19 via a dedicated bypass. Until now, there has been no such connecting corridor along the stretch from Greater Noida to Mathura on the Yamuna Expressway, making this a groundbreaking initiative in regional transport planning.
Project Specifications and Investment
The proposed Vrindavan Bypass will be constructed at an estimated cost of ₹1,645.72 crore. Spanning 15.40 kilometers, the bypass will commence at kilometer marker 129.320 on NH-19 and extend to kilometer marker 101.200 on the Yamuna Expressway. This strategic alignment will allow travelers to bypass Vrindavan’s urban congestion, ensuring efficient and uninterrupted transit.
Pilgrim and Traffic Benefits
The Vrindavan Bypass is expected to greatly benefit both tourists and pilgrims visiting the pilgrimage sites of Vrindavan. Devotees traveling from across India and beyond will find easier access to the town without getting entangled in traffic bottlenecks. Additionally, the bypass will contribute to reducing vehicular pollution and preserving the serene spiritual ambiance of Vrindavan.
A Major Step Toward Modern Infrastructure
The approval of this bypass marks a major step toward enhancing the connectivity between two of India’s most crucial highway networks. Once completed, the project will not only improve travel efficiency but also boost economic and tourism prospects for the region.
With construction set to commence soon, this ambitious endeavor promises to redefine transportation dynamics in the Braj region, offering a more convenient and efficient passage for millions of travelers annually.
