Delhi-Dehradun expressway to cut travel time by 4 hours
01 Mar 2021
Work on the Delhi-Dehradun expressway project is slated to start soon. The expressway will reduce the distance between the two cities from 235 km to 210 km and travel time from 6.5 hours to just 2.5 hours. It will be the country’s first highway to have a 12 km elevated corridor for the protection of wildlife. The Road Transport and Highways Ministry has decided to execute the expressway project in engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) mode. Wayside amenities have been provisioned every 25 to 30 km. The process of land acquisition is in process and environment clearance has been sought.
