Dwarka Expressway will be operational in 2023: Gadkari
Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari announced in Gurugram on Monday that Dwarka Expressway, also known as the Northern Peripheral Road (NPR) in the Haryana portion which is being developed as the first elevated urban expressway in India, will be operational in 2023.
Gadkari said Dwarka Expressway will reduce pressure on the Delhi- Gurugram Expressway (part of the Delhi-Jaipur-Ahmedabad-Mumbai arm of Golden Quadrilateral) and arterial roads that experience severe traffic congestion, primarily from the commuters of West Delhi. “50 to 60 per cent of the traffic on the Delhi-Jaipur Expressway (NH-48) will be diverted onto the new expressway, thereby improving traffic movement towards Sohna Road, Golf Course Road and Golf Course extension road.
