Soon, you will able to reach Dehradun from Delhi in 2.5 hours
The under-construction Delhi-Saharanpur-Dehradun economic corridor will reduce the travel time from 6.5 hours to just 2.5 hours once it is completed, the ministry of road transport and highways said on Thursday.
“This will be the country’s first highway where there will be a 12-kilometre long elevated corridor for protection of wildlife. It has been decided to execute the project under EPC mode,” the statement said.
The corridor is designed for driving with a minimum 100 kmph speed. “Wayside amenities every 25km-30 km have been provisioned for enhancing the road user experience. Closed toll mechanism would be adopted to enable pay toll only to the extent of highway used,” it added.
