Dehradun’s Infrastructure Leaps Ahead: Rishikesh-Haridwar Commute Time Halved with New Ring Road Development
Rishikesh/Haridwar– In a major boost to Uttarakhand’s infrastructure, the travel speed between Rishikesh and Haridwar has effectively doubled, thanks to significant improvements in road connectivity and the announcement of a new Ring Road for Dehradun. The development aims to decongest traffic, reduce travel time, and support the region’s growing tourism and economic activities.
According to officials, the upgraded route between Rishikesh and Haridwar now allows for smoother, faster commuting, cutting down the usual travel time by nearly half. This has come as a relief for both daily commuters and the influx of tourists visiting the spiritual twin cities.
Meanwhile, Dehradun—the state capital—is set to benefit from the newly planned Ring Road, which will help divert heavy traffic away from the city center. The project is expected to significantly reduce congestion, pollution, and wear on urban infrastructure while improving intra-city and inter-district connectivity.
Transport and Urban Development authorities believe these initiatives will not only enhance road safety but also provide a big push to Uttarakhand’s economic and tourism sectors. Local businesses, logistics operators, and residents have welcomed the move, expressing hope that these projects will set the tone for more sustainable and well-planned urban growth in the region.
With the combined impact of faster highway access and better city planning, Dehradun, Rishikesh, and Haridwar are poised to become more efficient, accessible, and tourist-friendly destinations.
