CHANDIGARH: Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Thursday inspected the construction of the eight-lane 1,380 km long Delhi-Mumbai Expressway (NH-148N), touted as India’s longest expressway to be completed by March 2023 at the cost of around Rs 95,000 crore.
NH-148N is one of the 15 projects for construction of roads and bridges approved for Delhi-NCR at a cost of Rs 53,000 crore, said Gadkari. These road projects aim to reduce pollution levels in Delhi NCR and avoid long traffic jams to save commuters’ time.
