Delhi-Dehradun Expressway ready, opens for first trial run
NEW DELHI: The much-awaited Delhi-Dehradun Expressway was opened for a trial run on Monday. Developed at an approximate cost of Rs 12,000 crore, the corridor will significantly reduce travel time between the capital and Dehradun—from the existing 6.5 hours to just 2.5 hours.
The access controlled expressway with operational speed limit of 100 kmph starts from Akshardham Temple in Delhi and passes through many districts of Uttar Pradesh such as Baghpat, Baraut, Muzaffarnagar, Shamli and Saharanpur and culminates at Dehradun.
