We last had an overview of national highways and major roads originating from central parts of Delhi, and moving out towards various directions, connecting the neighbouring cities of NCR, and then going further towards other parts of the country. Here, let us discuss a little more of this subject.
First about NH 1, popularly known as GT Road, which effectively originates at ISBT Kashmeri Gate, and after crossing Azadpur, goes to Sonepat, and finally goes deep right up to the nation's frontiers.
The original GT Road, also known as GT Karnal Road, passes through Baraf Khana, Sabzi Mandi Ghantaghar, Shakti Nagar, and Azadpur. Now we have an alternate in the form of a well built bypass road along Yamuna River, which meets the old GT Road at Mukarba Chowk, on Outer Ring Road. An alternate to this road is Ring Road section between Kashmeri Gate and Azadpur, via Civil Lines.
