Dwarka Expressway and UER-II
The projects, the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and the UER-II, have been developed under the government's comprehensive plan to decongest the national capital, with the objective of greatly improving connectivity, cutting travel time, and reducing traffic.
The 10.1 km long Delhi section of Dwarka Expressway has been developed at a cost of around Rs. 5,360 crore. The section will also provide multi-modal connectivity to Yashobhoomi, the DMRC Blue Line and Orange Line, the upcoming Bijwasan railway station and the Dwarka cluster bus depot.
This section comprises:
- Package I: 5.9 km from the Shiv Murti intersection to the Road Under Bridge (RUB) at Dwarka Sector-21.
- Package II: 4.2 km from Dwarka Sector-21 RUB to the Delhi-Haryana Border, providing direct connectivity to Urban Extension Road-II.
As per ANI, the 19 km long Haryana section of the Dwarka Expressway was earlier inaugurated by the Prime Minister in March 2024.
Alipur to Dichaon Kalan Stretch
The Prime Minister will also inaugurate the Alipur to Dichaon Kalan stretch of UER-II along with new links to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, built at a cost of Rs. around 5,580 crores. It will ease traffic on Delhi's Inner and Outer Ring Roads and busy points like Mukarba Chowk, Dhaula Kuan, and NH-09.
