In 2023, Delhi will receive four revolutionary motorways that will aid with traffic in and around the
National Capital. Three additional flyovers and underpasses are also being constructed. The national
government is working on INR 600 billion worth of projects to address Delhi's traffic problems.
A brief about the four significant expressways:
Dwaraka Expressway: In order to reduce traffic bottlenecks at the Delhi-Haryana border, the
Dwaraka Expressway is being developed. The 29 km long road is not far from Highway 48, which
runs between Delhi and Jaipur. Construction on the eight-lane highway is expected to be finished by
August 2023.
Delhi-Mumbai Expressway: The 1,300 km long Delhi-Mumbai Expressway will connect Delhi and
Mumbai and minimise the travel time in half. This motorway will be connected to the eastern and
western periphery motorways. Additionally, it would lessen traffic in Delhi and the NCR. From the
Ashram underpass, a link road is also being built between Delhi and Mumbai.
Delhi-Dehradun Expressway: The Delhi-Dehradun Expressway will have 12 lanes on both, the 12 km
section in Ghaziabad and the 14 km segment in Delhi. The 210 km road will eliminate four hours
from the journey between Delhi and Dehradun. The government is also building the 75.6 km long
Urban Extension Road 2, which would connect the IGI Airport to the Delhi-Chandigarh, Delhi-
Dwarka, and Delhi-Mumbai Expressways. Once this road is finished by the end of 2023, travellers
won't have to go through Delhi to reach numerous other locations.
A brief about the three flyovers that will ease the traffic congestion:
Ashram Flyover: The Ashram Flyover and DND will be connected to alleviate traffic congestion. This
will ease traffic at the Ashram and connect commuters from Ghaziabad to Noida. Once 70% of the
work is finished, it will take three more months to finish it, which will shorten commuters' journey
time.
Sarai Kale Khan Underpass: An underpass is being constructed close to Sarai Kale Khan. It will ease
traffic on the ring road between ITO and Ashram. By October 2023, the project will be finished.
Apsara Flyover: From the Apsara border to the overbridge in Anand Vihar, a flyover is being
constructed. The completion date is projected to be December 2023.
