NH 57A NH 59
National Highway 58 (NH 58) is a national highway in India. It
links Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh near New Delhi with Badrinath and Mana
Pass in Uttarakhand near Indo-Tibet border. This 538 km (334 mi) highway
starts from Mana village near Indo-Tibet border north of Badrinath temple and
passes
through Badrinath, Joshimath, Chamoli, Vishnuprayag, Nandaprayag, Karnapra
yag, Rudraprayag, Srinagar, Devprayag, Rishikesh, Haridwar, Roorkee, Muzaff
arnagar, Khatauli, Meerut and Modinagar and ends at Ghaziabad near the
border with Delhi.
Of its total length, the NH 58 traverses 165 km (103 mi) in Uttar Pradesh and
373 km (232 mi) in Uttarakhand.[1]
Importance of NH 58
Religious
The highway is packed with pilgrims and tourists during pilgrimage season or
during important festivals.[2] When pilgrims bring holy water
from Ganga river and carry it to their villages and homes walking on foot all
the way during one fortnight, one lane of the highway is reserved for these
pilgrims who walk on foot and vehicles have to use only one lane for about two
weeks in a year.
The highway connects with the border with Tibet. It is built and maintained
by Border Roads Organisation (BRO) of Indian Army from Rishikesh, where
the plains end and the mountains start, to its northernmost end. Earlier it was
built only up to Chamoli and has over the years gradually been extended
to Joshimath, Badrinath and finally to Mana Pass near the border with Tibet.
The army along with civilians living in Garhwal are its major user. CharDham
yatra in summer is all thru this route.
Development[edit]
Travel time between Haridwar and Delhi may get reduced by an hour if
the Centres plan to build the six-lane access-controlled Expressway
between the Capital and Meerut is implemented.
The work for Muzaffarnagar-Haridwar stretch has also been awarded on BOT
(Toll) basis. It is scheduled to be completed by February, 2013, said the
official. The progress of work is adversely affected due to delay in pre-
construction activities like land acquisition, tree-cutting, besides inadequate
mobilisation by the Concessionaire, said the official.
The ministry has issued notices to the Concessionaire for expediting the work.
Meanwhile, the ministry is also pressing other concessionaires to maintain the
Meerut-Muzaffarnagar-Haridwar section to ensure smooth traffic flow.

As a frequent road traveller on this route I have tried several such places.
However, for the last few trips, including the one that I made today from
Haridwar to Delhi, I have stopped at Namaste Midway. It is located some 100
odd KMs from Delhi, on the left hand side of the highway if you are driving
towards Haridwar. You really cannot miss the place as it has a large
McDonald's Drive Thru sign towering over the place which is visible from
quite a distance.
What sets this place apart is that it is not one single restaurant but franchises of
several well-known food chain outlets located in the same complex. The
complex itself is quite big and there is ample parking which is supervised by
security guards so you need not worry about leaving your luggage unattended
in the vehicle.
Within the same complex you will find outlets for Haldiram's, McDonald,
Costa Coffee, Subway and Baskin Robbins. Also located within the complex
are an ATM, a Paan shop and a fresh juice outlet, so there is something
available for every taste.
Within the last four months itself I have made three trips on this route and each
time, I have stopped here, both - while going towards Haridwar as well as on
the return leg, and with good reason.
First and foremost, the food outlets are very neat and clean, as are the
surroundings, which is one of the first things that a traveller would look for.
Secondly, the food is quite good. I have tried the Haldiram's and McDonalds
and the quality is up to the mark. While it is pretty standard fare that is served
in all such franchise outlets, it is fresh and clean.
The complex also houses a large Handicrafts store that promotes Indian
handicrafts and there is a wide range on offer. The prices, however, are similar
to what you would find in upmarket emporiums. There is even a cart that sells
freshly prepared jaggery, which is again hygienically packed.
Last but not the least is their washrooms area. The washrooms are very clean
and there is an attendant permanently on duty, cleaning the place frequently.
When you are on a long drive on a highway, such a facility alone is worth the
stop.
