The section near IGI Airport comprises an 8-lane tunnel, deemed essential due to security concerns and heavy traffic volume. A blastproof design has been incorporated into the tunnel section closest to the airport. Additionally, there is an emergency exit and a dedicated control room, prioritizing safety. The Delhi section of the expressway near IGI airport has a 3.6-km-long, 8-lane 'shallow tunnel', witnessing very heavy traffic of 35,000 cars per day. Primarily a flyway, 75 per cent of the total length of the Dwarka Expressway, which spans 28.5 km, is elevated, completely segregating expressway and city traffic. This design includes four-level interchanges at strategic points, aiming to alleviate future traffic congestion. The inauguration will encompass the Gurgaon section, extending from the Dwarka border to the Delhi-Jaipur highway (NH8), with plans for the Delhi section to open later. With the aim of easing congestion on existing routes and enhancing connectivity between Delhi and Gurgaon, the expressway employs innovative design solutions. The Dwarka Expressway, a project in the works for over 18 years, encountered delays due to land acquisition issues and legal battles. However, with the involvement of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), construction commenced in 2019, marking a significant milestone in infrastructure development. Regarding toll collection, there is uncertainty about whether commuters will be charged, given recent statements by Union Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari regarding toll plaza locations. The inauguration of the Dwarka Expressway represents a significant step towards addressing traffic challenges and enhancing connectivity in the Delhi-NCR region. It showcases innovative engineering solutions and long-awaited infrastructure development.
