Removing traffic bottlenecks
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday inaugurated the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and Urban Extension Road-II worth nearly Rs 11,000 crore to reduce traffic congestion in the national capital and its surrounding areas.
The two projects have been developed under the government’s comprehensive plan to decongest the capital, with the objective of improving connectivity, cutting travel time, and reducing traffic in Delhi and its surrounding areas.
These new projects are expected to significantly reduce travel time from Sonipat, Rohtak, Bahadurgarh and Gurugram to IGI Airport when completely operational.
"Dwarka Expressway and UER-II will benefit people of Delhi-NCR...The government is making efforts to remove all difficulties of the people in Delhi," Modi said after inaugurating these projects.
The Prime Minister said the government is making Delhi a model of growth that reflects the spirit of a developing India.
