PM Modi interacts with construction workers before inauguration of two national highway project in Delhi

PM Modi interacts with construction teams ahead of Dwarka Expressway and UER-II inauguration, enhancing Delhi-NCR connectivity.

"These projects reflect our vision of world-class infrastructure for seamless mobility - PM Modi"

New Delhi, August 17

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday interacted with the construction workers of the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) ahead of inaugurating both national highway projects worth a combined cost of nearly Rs 11,000 crore.

The two projects have been developed under the Government's comprehensive plan to decongest the capital, with the objective of greatly improving connectivity, cutting travel time, and reducing traffic in Delhi and its surrounding areas. These initiatives reflect Prime Minister Modi's vision of creating world-class infrastructure that enhances ease of living and ensures seamless mobility.

The 10.1 km long Delhi section of Dwarka Expressway has been developed at a cost of around Rs. 5,360 crore. The section will also provide Multi-modal connectivity to Yashobhoomi, DMRC Blue line and Orange line, the upcoming Bijwasan railway station and the Dwarka cluster Bus Depot. This section comprises: 5.9 km from Shiv Murti intersection to the Road Under Bridge (RUB) at Dwarka Sector-21 and 4.2 km from Dwarka Sector-21 RUB to the Delhi-Haryana Border, providing direct connectivity to Urban Extension Road-II.

The 19 km long Haryana section of the Dwarka Expressway was earlier inaugurated by the Prime Minister in March 2024.

Prime Minister will also inaugurate the Alipur to Dichaon Kalan stretch of Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) along with new links to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, built at a cost of around Rs. 5,580 Crores. It 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 give direct access to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, improve industrial connectivity, cut city traffic, and speed up goods movement in the National Capital Region.

I appreciate that PM Modi took time to interact with the construction workers. These unsung heroes deserve recognition for working in tough conditions to build our nation's infrastructure. More leaders should acknowledge their contribution!

₹11,000 crore is a huge amount! While infrastructure is important, I hope proper audits are done to ensure money is well spent. We've seen too many projects where quality suffers after initial hype.

The multi-modal connectivity is the best part! Being able to switch between metro, buses and expressway will make my commute from Dwarka to Gurgaon so much easier. Can't wait to experience the reduced travel time 😊

Good initiative but what about the environmental impact? Delhi already has terrible air quality. Hope proper green belts and pollution control measures are implemented along these highways.

As someone from Bahadurgarh, the new links will be a game-changer! Our industrial area has been needing better connectivity to Delhi. This will boost local businesses and create jobs. Thank you for thinking beyond just Delhi city limits.
