The Trans-Haryana Expressway or the Ambala–Narnaul Expressway (NH-152D) is a 227-km long, 6-lane wide greenfield access-controlled expressway, connecting the cities of Ambala and Narnaul in the state of Haryana.[2] The expressway connects Gangheri village (on NH-152) in Kurukshetra district (near Ismailabad) with Surana village on Narnaul Bypass (NH-148B) in Mahendragarh district. It passes via Kaul, Pundri, Pillu khera, Julana, Kalanaur, Charkhi Dadri and Kanina. It will reduce the distance from Chandigarh to Delhi, Narnaul, and Jaipur, thus decongesting NH-44 and NH-48.[3][4]
The alignment intersects with 15 national highways, including NH-9, and several State Highways, including SH6, SH9, SH8, SH11, SH12, SH14, SH10, SH16A, SH20, SH24 and SH26.[5] The area around the expressway is being developed as an industrial corridor, named as the Ambala–Kotputli Economic Corridor.
