The work on this highway will start from January 2017, and is expected to cost Rs 16,000 crore.
Mr Gadkari said that land acquisition for this new highway will begin soon and suggested that Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar should promote development along both sides of this highway so as to bring down the cost.
