The corridor intersects Eastern Peripheral Expressway, Yamuna Expressway, and Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC), enabling multimodal transport convergence. The elevated corridor is not merely a structural enhancement but a strategic enabler for urban transformation, regional connectivity, and national logistics efficiency.

Its construction is imperative to unlock the full potential of the Jewar Airport–Delhi–Mumbai Expressway corridor and to ensure sustainable urban development in Faridabad.

About 11 km length of this project is to be developed as an elevated highway which forms a critical segment of the Greenfield connectivity between DND-Ballabgarh Bypass and Jewar International Airport, linking it to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway.

This corridor traverses the area earmarked for high-density urban development and future infrastructure expansion under the Faridabad Master Plan, 2031.

The additional cost of the proposed elevated corridor is Rs 689.24 crore and the Haryana Government has agreed to bear Rs 450 crore for elevated corridor.
