Soon the picture of Delhi-NCR is going to change. The traffic jams that occur in the morning and evening will not bother you for long. Vehicles crawling on the roads will soon move at a fast speed. The reason for this is the four new highways and tunnels being built in Delhi-NCR. These will not only reduce the distance between Delhi-Gurgaon, Noida and Faridabad but will also reduce the journey of hours to minutes.
To speed up the slow pace of Delhi-NCR, the Ministry of Road Transport of the Central Government, Uttar Pradesh Government and Delhi Government along with the National Highways Authority of India are working rapidly. Soon these new roads will give people the pleasure of smooth and traffic free travel. Let us know about these new highways or roads.
The first highway in this series is the elevated road to be built from Delhi’s Dhaula Kuan to Manesar. This road will be built to solve the problem of traffic jam on Delhi-Jaipur Expressway. This plan will be prepared in the next few months. This has been agreed upon in the meeting between Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari and Union Minister Rao Indrajit Singh.
In view of the traffic jam from Dwarka to Vasant Kunj in Delhi, a five kilometer long tunnel is being built here. A five kilometer long tunnel is being built underground from Shiv Murti area (Dwarka Expressway) of Mahipalpur to Nelson Mandela Road (Vasant Kunj). The special thing is that this will be a signal free tunnel and vehicles will be able to move at high speed here.
According to Delhi CM Rekha Gupta, this tunnel will be constructed by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). Its estimated cost will be around Rs 3,500 crore. This has also been approved by Union Minister Gadkari. It will have a total of 6 lanes.
The third road is the road connecting Pushta Road to the National Highway. Yamuna Embankment Road (Pushta Road) is being connected to National Highway-9 (NH-9) for better connectivity to Noida International Airport. NHAI can start work on the project after getting NOC for Pushta Road from Noida Authority and Uttar Pradesh Irrigation Department.
This will reduce the traffic pressure on Noida and Greater Noida Expressway. This road can be built as a new eight-lane on-ground expressway or a six-lane elevated road through the Yamuna embankment parallel to the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway. Its completion will directly benefit 10 lakh people.
The fourth and important mega highway is Urban Extension-2 which was recently inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It is also being called the third ring road of Delhi. It will give tremendous speed between Delhi-Gurgaon, Noida. This 75 km long 6 lane highway will reduce the travel time in Delhi-NCR to a great extent. It will even strengthen connectivity for Punjab, Haryana, Jammu Kashmir and Uttarakhand. The entire picture of Delhi NCR is going to change in the coming few years.
