The 8 lane 29 km long Dwarka Expressway will facilitate smooth traffic flow between Delhi and Gurgaon and reduce traffic congestion on NH-48.
Built at a cost of Rs. 9,000 crore, the total lane length of the Dwarka Expressway is 563 lane km.
PM Modi inspects the expressway with Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari along with Haryana CM Khattar and other officials.
Interestingly, 19 km of the expressway falls in Haryana while the remaining 10 km extends in Delhi.
PM Modi held a roadshow and greeted the public present at the inauguration of the 8-lane expressway.
The project consumed approx. two lakh metric tonnes of steel, and 20 lakh cubic meters of concrete.
This is the first example of 'transplanting' of about 12,000 trees for expressway construction.
The four-level interchange at Shiv Murti will be the first of its kind in India with a road at ground level, elevated flyover and two-level underpass.
