The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is advancing the preparation of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for three proposed road links in Delhi, with an estimated cost of Rs 910 billion. The exact budget will be finalized upon the completion of the DPRs, which are expected within six to seven months, paving the way for the construction phase.

One of the key projects is a 20 km link road that will connect Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) with the Delhi-Katra Expressway through the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway. This corridor aims to provide a seamless route for vehicles from Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab, enabling direct access to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway and the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport. The estimated cost for this link is Rs 25 billion.

Another significant proposal includes a 17 km road link between UER-II near Alipur and Tronica City. This stretch will be in proximity to the under-construction Delhi-Dehradun Expressway, facilitating smoother movement for vehicles traveling from Rajasthan and Haryana towards Dehradun. Additionally, this new link is expected to reduce congestion on Delhi’s existing Ring Road.

The third project focuses on developing a 35 km corridor that will serve as a bypass for East Delhi. This route will establish a direct connection between the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway and Noida, improving travel efficiency for commuters from northern, northwestern, and southwestern Delhi.

Upon completion, these infrastructure developments will enhance connectivity, decongest traffic, and provide faster, more efficient travel options for commuters within and around the capital.
