National Highway 58 (India, old numbering) National Highway 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 highway starts from Mana village near Indo-Tibet border north of Badrinath temple and passes through Badrinath, Joshimath , Chamoli , Vishnuprayag , Nandaprayag , Karnaprayag , Rudraprayag , Srinagar , Devprayag , Rishikesh , Haridwar , Roorkee , Muzaffarnagar , Khatauli , Meerut and Modinagar and ends at Ghaziabad near the border with Delhi. Of its total length , the NH 58 traverses in Uttar Pradesh and in Uttarakhand. The highway is constructed and maintained by National Highway Authority of India from Delhi to Rishikesh and Border Roads Organisation of Indian Army from Rishikesh, where the plains end and the mountains start, to its northernmost end. The highway bypasses Meerut city that was a big bottleneck. Bypasses at Muzaffarnagar has been constructed but bypass at Roorkee is pending.Importance of NH58 Religious It is an important route for Hindu pilgrims as it connects the national capital New Delhi with religious pilgrim centres, Haridwar and Rishikesh in the plains of Uttarakhand, and then with the hill cities and temples of Uttarakhand. The most important pilgrimage circuit in Uttarakhand is called Chhota Char Dham comprising Yamunotri , Gangotri , Kedarnath temple and Badrinath temple. The pilgrims visit Haridwar and Rishikesh in the plains the entire year but more so during the winter. The pilgrim season in the hills starts with melting of the snow at the end of April or in the beginning of May and continues until the onset of monsoon rains in late June. Buses and vehicles packed with pilgrims and tourists throng the highway during the summer months. The highway is packed with pilgrims and tourists during pilgrimage season or during important festivals. 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.Strategic and military The highway connects with the border with Tibet . It is built and maintained by Border Roads Organisation 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 As of December 2013 , the Meerut to Muzaffarnagar stretch is 4-laned on toll basis including bypasses at Khatauli and Muzaffarnagar. The Muzaffarnagar to Haridwar stretch has been awarded for similar development with scheduled completion by February 2013 , but has been delayed due to problems such as land acquisition, tree felling and inadequate mobilization by the Concessionaire. Also, a flyover at Mohan Nagar, a 4710 m long viaduct at Modinagar and a 1710 m long viaduct at Murad Nagar are proposed.
