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.[1]

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.[2]

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.
