Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, announced the completion of a 60-kilometer-long corridor connecting southern and eastern parts of Delhi to the upcoming Noida International Airport and the Mumbai Expressway.
The project, costing INR 4,463 crore, features six lanes, eight elevated sections, 10 flyovers, and six busways, along with three-lane service roads on both sides.
This corridor, scheduled for completion by the end of 2024, will alleviate traffic congestion in Delhi, connecting traffic from northern and eastern parts of the city, Noida, and Ghaziabad to destinations like Jaipur, Ahmedabad, and Mumbai via NH 48. Additionally, it will facilitate access to Kanpur, Lucknow, and Kolkata via NH 19.
The project is part of the larger plan to decongest Delhi, with additional developments expected to be finalised by 2025, totaling a budget of INR 65,000 crore.
