Shorter route to Chandigarh airport to be complete by December 2025: Punjab to HC

Hindustan Times  

The Punjab government has told the high court that a shorter route to the Shaheed Bhagat Singh international airport, via Sector 65-66 junction, will be completed by December 2025. A government counsel informed the court that an 8.5 km, 164-ft wide road will run parallel to the Airport Road, starting from Bawa White House in Mohali’s Phase 9, Industrial Area. However, in 2023, the Punjab government changed its stand and started work on a 164-ft-wide parallel road between the airport and Bawa White house. The Punjab government has further stated that the proposed route runs along the boundary wall of the Indian Air Force Station, Chandigarh, and cuts through the middle of the land reserved for the expansion of airport facilities in the GMADA Master Plan 2006-2031.
