Jammu, Nov 23 (UNI) Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Tuesday said the landmark Katra-Delhi Expressway Road Corridor will be complete by 2023 and work on the Kathua-Jammu Highway extension from four lane to six lane has started.
After receiving an update on the project from the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), Dr Singh said, 'This Express Highway is going to be a game-changer and also the first of its kind in North India, when it becomes functional.
'It would be possible to cover the journey from Katra to Delhi in about seven hours and from Jammu to Delhi in over six hours. People will then prefer to travel by road instead of undertaking rail or air journey.”
