The projects – the Delhi section of Dwarka Expressway and the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) – have been developed under the government’s comprehensive plan to decongest the national capital, aimed at improving connectivity, cutting travel time and reducing traffic in Delhi and its surrounding areas.

Chief minister Rekha Gupta, along with senior party functionaries, visited the inauguration site on Saturday and its surroundings to review the preparations and issued necessary instructions.

Describing the project as a “historic gift” for the city, the chief minister said that the commencement of UER-II would not only move Delhi closer to becoming a traffic-free capital but would also strengthen connectivity across the national capital region.

She added that the corridor will play a vital role in reducing congestion, lowering vehicular pollution, and thereby contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment
