December last year, the UP PWD had initiated a proposal for the 111km road project which will be taken up between Muradnagar in Ghaziabad and up to Purkaji near the UP-Uttarakhand border.
The project also includes the cost of compensatory afforestation and utility shifting, besides construction of flyovers, rail over bridges and bridges midway.

Not a safe road to travel with family, especially after sunset
Is road se mai kawad leke aya tha khatauli se yeh road shuru hoti hai or seedha chota haridwar nikalti hai

Hi Ashwani,
Let me share some deep personal association with Upper Ganges Canal, Roorkee and the lion statues at the banks of the great canal.
1. My father was an alum of Roorkee University (now IIT-Roorkee), and studied civil engineering. In 1950s, the diploma (yes, not degree) used to be a 3 years course.
2. There are three very interesting facts/crossings of canal between Roorkee and Haridwar: 1) Canal over river (Roorkee) - a canal bridge, 2) River over Canal (near Bahadarabad) and 3) where Canal and a small river meet on the same level like a +, and the flow is managed by dam gates on the river as well as the canal.
3. Just so happens, my father had a great story (?) to share. When the canal was first built, the canal bridge next to Roorkee towards Haridwar fell with the weight of the flowing water. It was rebuilt, and before they let the water in the canal, the chief engineer (a British) went and stood on the bridge, and then ordered to open the water flow while still standing on the bridge! My salute to his confidence!
4. I had an opportunity to live in Roorkee for a year in early 1970s when my father was posted there. We lived in the Hydel Colony - on the banks of the canal. In summer months, I used to swim across back and forth everyday in chilly water. The flow was so fast that we used to get drifted at least 100 yards by the time we reached the other side. We also used to jump from the bridge into the canal where the lion statues were.
5. Those lion statues had a special association/origin with/from the Roorkee University. The annual athletic champion was awarded a silver Lion Trophy - looking exactly like the lion statues you find next to the main bridge today.
6. My father won the Lion Trophy every year in his 3 years - a record (1949/50/51)first in history of the university ... clean sweep of every race event! The record was held until late 1970s! These trophies (picture posted below) are treasured at my sister's home in Minneapolis!
Thanks for your post about this engineering icon mostly forgotten - not to mention how much it has helped the farmers in UP along its path originating in Haridwar from Ganges and finally ending in Ganges again near Kanpur in UP.

I have been travelled to this road previous year during kanwad yatra on my own bike. This road is rarely crowded and well built. Amazing experience.
Bhai ye road dikh rhi h shaant, raat ke time pe galti se bhi mt jaana, or bike se to bilkul bhi nhi, no lights, no vehicles, bhot daraawni road h, ignore this route if you are traveling in night.
Bro same mistake ho gyi thhi is road s kaise nikla mujhe hee pta h uper s scooty ka silencer toot k gir gya thha itne pot holes h koi madad k liye gadi b nahi rokta agar is road pr fas gye to mushkil h bachna it was a horrible do not travel at night
Thanx Ashwini.. I was desperately waiting for this route.

Me to raat me bhi gya hu gang neher wale road se.
Bhut mja aata hai
Nice to see your video.
Delivered after so loooong......
Bhai aap log family ke sath ho or raat ho rahi ho es route ko ignore karna
I have used this road to reach Roorkee in 3 hours from ghaziabad.
This road is primarily is for kanwar people.
This can be easily made into 4 lanes.
Yes you are right, provision is to extend it to 4 lanes in near future
this should remain as it is. no need to have another hot tarmac stretch.
Very dangerous in night and specially un winters. 0 visiblity road
Ashwani bhaiya ek baar lucknow to ghazipur (uttar pradesh) poorvanchal expressway ka video bna dijiye.
As on today muradnagar to haridwar is 175 kms. When the new road project will start on left side, the distance will be reduced to 111 kms. One will reach Haridwar within 1.15 hrs in this new road. Sanction has been granted to new road project. CM Yogi is very keen to start this road project. People staying in Delhi will reach Haridwar within 2 hours
Very good sir.
Upper ganga canal road
Patani kaise dikha rha h apko 111 km kahi na kam hua accidents roads h yeh
Gud bro
Great🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ashwani bhaiya new video kb leke aayoge
I am waiting
Thanks bro 👍
Sir any update for construction of opposite side of ganga canal road
Yah sab sahi mein canal Projects hai.
Swarnrekha pariyojna ki tarah nahin Jo pura ka pura fail hai
168km from murad nagar to Haridwar on upper ganga canal road
My bhi goswami hu bro
CNG filling station es road per hai kya
I think time same hi lagega kuki jyada speed pe nai chal payegi gadi is road pe. Abhi chota hai or kai jagh thoda congestion bhi hai road pe. Highway pe 80-100 aaram se chal. Sakti hai gadi
Yahi to nhi pta tujhe 😂 ye dangerous road hai. Two way traffic. Upper se 100-120 chalti hai ispe cars. Bohot risky road hai ye. Side me canal 😕
My village bhi gang Nahar ki tusri patri par hai
Konsa gaon hai ? Mera bhi left side pe hai
maine notification on kiya hua hai..but fir bhi aapki video ka notification nahi aata...!!!!! haddd hai..
Muradnagar se manglaur hi 127 km hi via upper canal road to haridwar 111 kese ho jayega 🙄
Ekdum sahi baat hai. Manglaur se Haridwar 35-40 km hai. To Muradnagar se Haridwar 111 km kis calculation se bataya hai bhai ye to batao. Ya view k liye kuch bhi bol doge video me
. Convert the abandoned old section of the Upper Ganga ( Ganges )Canal ( from Har-Ki - Pauri, Haridwar to Roorkee ) in to a sort of national heritage museum-
This section ,originally constructed around 1850 by the East India Company , was at that time the biggest canal system ever undertaken. It was and still is an engineering marvel It has aqueducts , super passages , massive sluice gates , spillways etc
There are massive "lion statues " guarding the canal , near Roorkee.
The Solani aqueduct near Roorkee, apart from being an engineering marvel has the distinction of having first ever Steam Engine ( before the Bombay line ) actively operating in India to ferry massive amounts of earth required for raising the level of the canal 's course.
.But. presently , this old section of the beautiful canal is in dis use and a new canal course has been constructed parallel to the old canal. The old canal is in a very pitiable condition.
It is neglected and open to vandalism.It should , immediately , be declared a 'National Heritage " and suitably preserved. It can , also , be developed in to an attractive tourist designation.
Further , aqua riverine life like the great Indian Gharial , which once was abundant in the Ganga and which is now threatened can be introduced in some sections of this great canal.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganga_canalwww.indianexpress.com/news/rail-trail/410840/www.wwfindia.org/news_facts/...(
" GANGES " is the English adaption of the word GANGA JI "
Is road ko jahan tak nehar ka last point hai wahan tak banaya jaye
