The 10.1 km long Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway has been developed at a cost of around Rs 5,360 crore. This section will provide multi-modal connectivity to key infrastructure such as Yashobhoomi, DMRC Blue Line and Orange Line, the upcoming Bijwasan railway station, and Dwarka cluster Bus Depot. The expressway is expected to significantly reduce travel time and ease congestion in the region.

The Alipur to Dichaon Kalan stretch of UER-II, built at a cost of around Rs 5,580 crore, will ease traffic on Delhi’s Inner and Outer Ring Roads and busy points like Mukarba Chowk, Dhaula Kuan, and NH-09. The new spurs will provide direct access to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, improving industrial connectivity and speeding up goods movement in the NCR.

These projects reflect Prime Minister Modi’s vision of creating world-class infrastructure that enhances ease of living and ensures seamless mobility. The inauguration of these projects will mark a significant step towards achieving this vision and transforming Delhi’s transportation landscape.
