In a bid to enhance Bareilly's traffic infrastructure, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has accelerated the development of a 29.9-km ring road connecting Jhumka to Invertis University. The NHAI plans to initiate the tender process following a meeting scheduled for December 18, 2024.

The project, with an investment of Rs 73 crore per kilometer, is expected to improve traffic flow and boost connectivity in the area. The ring road will begin at Jhumka Tiraha on Rampur Road and extend to Invertis University on Shahjahanpur Road, with a total project cost of Rs 2,192.34 crore. Of this, Rs 995.75 crore is earmarked for road construction, while Rs 863.86 crore will cover land acquisition costs.

The road construction will involve the acquisition of 187 hectares from over 900 farmers, with compensation already provided to 21 villages. The project will also include the construction of seven small bridges and four large bridges, along with the development of a 17-km-long dual-lane road.
