Overview

  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially opened the 10.1 km Delhi stretch of the Dwarka Expressway and four of five packages of the 75.7 km Urban Extension Road-II on August 17.
  • The combined project cost neared ₹11,000 crore, with ₹5,360 crore allocated to the Dwarka Expressway’s Delhi section—including a 5.1 km tunnel to IGI Airport—and about ₹5,580 crore for the UER-II segment.
  • The Dwarka Expressway offers multi-modal connections to the Metro Blue and Orange lines, the upcoming Bijwasan railway station and the Yashobhoomi convention centre.
  • UER-II, designed as Delhi’s third ring road, runs from Alipur to Dichaon Kalan and features new spurs to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat to relieve pressure on the city’s inner and outer ring roads.
  • Construction incorporated nearly two million tonnes of inert material recovered from landfill biomining, and NHAI will integrate the corridors into the wider NCR network while monitoring traffic effects.
