New Delhi: The Modi government has opened a 3.5 km section of the new Delhi-Dehradun Expressway, according to the reports. Once fully operational, the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway will drastically cut travel time between the two capital cities from 6.5 hours to just 2.5 hours. The newly-opened 3.5 km section of the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway is now fully operational. The section spans from Daat Kali to Asharodi. To recall, earlier, only three lanes were accessible, but all six lanes are now open, ensuring smoother and more efficient travel between the two regions.

Here are some of the key details about the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway:

• The entire expressway is divided into four sections
• From near Akshardham in Delhi, passing through the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, Shastri Park, Khajuri Khas, and Mandola in Khekra (EPE Interchange).
• The expressway further extends through Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat, Shamli, and Saharanpur before reaching Dehradun in Uttarakhand.
• According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), the 212 km-long six-lane Delhi-Dehradun Greenfield Access Controlled Expressway has been built for Rs 12,000 crore
• The travelers must note that the first 18 km, stretching from Akshardham Temple to Loni will be toll-free
• A 12-kilometre-long (7.5 mi) elevated corridor will be constructed over the Rajaji National Park to protect wildlife
• It will be the second highway in India to have a wildlife protection corridor after NH-44.

The Delhi-Dehradun Expressway is a major project that will transform travel between Delhi and Dehradun. With its modern design, underpasses, foot-over bridges, and raised sections, the expressway ensures a safer and smoother journey for all travellers.
