The project for 4 laning of Phagwara to Hoshiarpur road (NH 344B) including Phagwara & Hoshiarpur Bypass under Bharatmala Pariyojana, district Jalandhar, Karpurthala, SBS Nagar & Hoshiarpur, in Punjab has been approved at the total cost of Rs. 1553.07 crore on Hybrid Annuity Mode.
The construction period for this 48.622 km stretch is 2 years. This corridor starts from NH-44 near Jamalpur (Phagwara) and ends at NH-503A at Hoshiarpur. After completion, it would provide faster connectivity between NH-44 and NH-503A(Amritsar–Tanda–Una). The development of the section will overall improve the movement along the existing Highway, ensuring smooth and safe traffic flow, substantial reduction in travel time and substantial gain in terms of reduced Vehicle Operating Cost (VOC). The project would boost the infrastructure in the region that would ultimately lead to overall economic development in the surrounding areas.
