National Highway 152D (India)

National Highway 152D (NH 152D) Expressway (also known as Trans Haryana Greenfield Expressway and Ambala-Narnaul Expressway) from Gangheri to Narnaul is an under construction barrier-free access controlled tolled 6-lane (extendable to 8-lanes) Expressway in Haryana state of India.[1][2] This 230 km long diagonal expressway through Haryana state, from Kurukshetra in northeast to Narnaul in southwest, will start from the junction of NH152 near Gangheri and Ismailabad, pass through Kaul, Pundri, Dhatrath, Lakhan Majra, Kalanaur, Charkhi Dadri, and terminate at junction with NH148B at Narnaul bypass.[1][3] Its straight-line greenfield alignment will reduce the distance from the state capital Chandigarh to Narnaul and Jaipur while decongesting NH44 and NH48.[2] The alignment intersects with at least 15 NH including NH9 and several State Highways (SH) including SH6, SH9, SH8, SH11, SH12, SH14, SH10, SH16A, SH20, SH24 and SH26.[4] Area around it is being developed as an industrial corridor.
