PM Modi inaugurates Haryana section of Dwarka Expressway in Gurugram. How will it help commuters?

On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Haryana segment of the landmark Dwarka Expressway, a move aimed at enhancing traffic flow and easing congestion between Delhi and Gurugram on NH-48. Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar and Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Road Transport and Highways, were also present at the event. The PM also inspected the 4-level Interchange of the Haryana Section of the Dwarka Expressway.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), PM Modi wrote, “Today is an important day for connectivity across India. At noon today, 112 National Highways, spread across different states, will be dedicated to the nation or their foundation stones will be laid. The Haryana Section of the Dwarka Expressway will be inaugurated. These projects will boost economic growth and align with our efforts to build next-generation infrastructure."

Key Features of the Dwarka Expressway and Its Benefits for Commuters:

1. The 19 km stretch of the Dwarka Expressway in Haryana has been constructed at an estimated cost of approximately Rs. 4,100 crore. This section comprises two packages: the first is a 10.2 km stretch from Delhi-Haryana Border to Basai Rail-over-Bridge (ROB), and the second covers an 8.7 km distance from Basai ROB to Kherki Daula.

2. The third and fourth sections cover approximately 19 km in Gurugram, while the first two segments, totalling 10 km, are situated in Delhi. Originating from Shiv Murti near Mahipalpur on the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway, it traverses through Dwarka Sector 21, the Gurugram border, Basai, and concludes near Kherki Daula on the national highway.

3. The Expressway is an entirely access-controlled, grade-separated 14-lane corridor, a pioneering project in India. It includes four multi-level interchanges, incorporating tunnels or underpasses, ground-level road sections, and elevated flyovers.

4. Notably, it features an 8-lane elevated structure alongside India's first 4 km long 8-lane tunnel near IGI airport, described as a 'shallow tunnel' for its less intrusive construction method, according to a report by Times of India. The Expressway's starting point includes an interchange with two underpasses beneath NH 48, catering to over 3 lakh vehicles daily. It aims to alleviate traffic congestion and reduce vehicular pollution in the Delhi NCR region.

5. This expressway will offer direct connectivity to the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi and the Gurugram Bypass, enhancing transportation efficiency in the region.
