Dwarka Expressway to be operational in 2023: Nitin Gadkari | Times of India News Video

The Dwarka Expressway, also known as the Northern Peripheral Road, will be operational in 2023 and will ease traffic congestion on Delhi-Gurugram Expressway, Union minister Nitin Gadkari said on Monday. Taking to Twitter, Gadkari said Dwarka Expressway, which is being developed as the first elevated urban expressway in India, will reduce pressure on Delhi-Gurugram Expressway and arterial roads that experience heavy traffic, primarily from the commuters of west Delhi.

Delhi-Gurugram Expressway is a part of Delhi-Jaipur-Ahmedabad-Mumbai arm of Golden Quadrilateral. The road transport and highways minister said 50-60 per cent traffic on National Highway-8 will be diverted onto the new expressway, thereby improving traffic movement towards Sohna Road and Golf Course Road. Once operational in 2023, it shall immensely help reduce air pollution in Delhi-NCR as well, he added.
