Rs 11,000 crore road push in Delhi as PM Modi inaugurates 2 highways
The expressway is divided into two sections — from Shiv Murti intersection to Dwarka Sector-21, and from there to the Delhi–Haryana border, where it directly connects with UER-II.
PTC News Desk: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday inaugurated two major highway projects in Delhi worth nearly ₹11,000 crore. The projects — the Delhi stretch of the Dwarka Expressway and a segment of the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) — are part of the Centre’s efforts to ease traffic congestion in the capital and improve connectivity across the National Capital Region.
"These initiatives reflect Prime Minister Modi's vision of creating world-class infrastructure that enhances ease of living and ensures seamless mobility," the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said in an official statement.
Ahead of the inauguration, PM Modi held a grand roadshow in Delhi’s Rohini and inspected the projects on site. The event was also attended by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, and other BJP leaders.
The Projects
The 10.1-km Delhi portion of the Dwarka Expressway, built at a cost of about ₹5,360 crore, is designed to provide seamless multi-modal connectivity to Yashobhoomi convention centre, Delhi Metro’s Blue and Orange lines, the upcoming Bijwasan railway station, and the Dwarka cluster bus terminal. The expressway is divided into two sections — from Shiv Murti intersection to Dwarka Sector-21, and from there to the Delhi–Haryana border, where it directly connects with UER-II.
