National Highway 58 (India, old numbering)
This article is about the old number of Delhi-Meerut-Roorkee-Haridwar-Badrinath National Highway.
National Highway 58 (NH 58) was a national highway in India before it was renumbered. It linked Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh near New Delhi with Badrinath and Mana Pass in Uttarakhand near Indo-Tibet border. The highway started from Mana village north of Badrinath temple and passed through Badrinath, Joshimath, Chamoli, Vishnuprayag, Nandaprayag, Karnaprayag, Rudraprayag, Srinagar, Devprayag, Rishikesh, Haridwar, Roorkee, Muzaffarnagar, Meerut and Modinagar and ended at Ghaziabad, a few km short of Delhi.
Of its total length of 538 km, NH 58 traversed 165 km in Uttar Pradesh and 373 km in Uttarakhand.
The highway was constructed and maintained by National Highways Authority of India from Delhi to Rishikesh and Border Roads Organisation (BRO) 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 have been constructed at Muzaffarnagar and Roorkee.
Various segments of NH 58 have got new numbers now and NH 58 does not exist as such. However, many persons continue to use the term NH 58 for the Delhi-Meerut-Haridwar highway.
With the National Highways Authority of India renumbering all national highways in India, various segments of NH 58 got new NH numbers. These are:
The highway bypasses the towns and cities en route from Haridwar to Meerut.
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 (Four Pilgrimage Centres) comprising Yamunotri (where Yamuna river originates), Gangotri (where Ganga river originates), 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.
