New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate two major National Highway projects worth around 11 thousand crore rupees in New Delhi today. These projects include the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II). On the occasion, Prime Minister will also address the gathering.
These projects have been developed as part of the government’s comprehensive plan to decongest the national capital. The projects aimed to significantly improve connectivity, reduce travel time, and ease traffic in Delhi and its surrounding areas. The 10.1-kilometer-long Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway has been developed at a cost of over 5 thousand 300 crore rupees. This section will provide multi-modal connectivity to Yashobhoomi, the DMRC Blue and Orange lines, the upcoming Bijwasan railway station, and the Dwarka cluster bus depot.
The Alipur to Dichaon Kalan stretch of UER-II, along with new links to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, is constructed at a cost of around 5,580 crore rupees. It will ease traffic on Delhi’s Inner and Outer Ring Roads, as well as at busy points like Mukarba Chowk, Dhaula Kuan, and NH-9. In a social media post, Prime Minister reaffirmed the government’s unwavering commitment to enhancing the ease of living for citizens by giving a significant boost to infrastructure development in the National Capital Region.
