Delhi–Sohna Corridor Nears Completion, Poised to Speed Travel to Jewar

02 Dec 2025 CW Team

The corridor is designed to ease movement across Delhi, Faridabad and Noida, while improving access to several inter-state destinations. An official involved in the project said it will serve as a crucial alternative to overloaded routes and significantly improve traffic flow across the NCR.

On the Delhi side, work on the Ashram-bound ramp of the DND Flyway is nearing completion, while construction continues on the ramp leading toward Sarai Kale Khan. Steady progress is also being reported on the arch bridge rising over the Agra Canal near Kalindi Kunj. Meanwhile, the main stretch connecting the DND Flyway to Sohna is advancing toward completion.

Although the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is executing the project, the Delhi government is handling associated procedural requirements. During a recent review meeting attended by chief minister Rekha Gupta and Union highways minister Nitin Gadkari, NHAI confirmed that the corridor has reached an advanced execution stage.

The NH-148A alignment covers 59 km from the DND Flyway through Kalindi Kunj, Faridabad, Ballabgarh and NH-19 before descending toward Sohna and Mohna. An additional 32 km spur is under development to provide a direct connection to Jewar, in anticipation of rising traffic once the airport becomes operational.

Estimated to cost Rs 70.84 billion, the multi-stage project aims to decongest some of Delhi’s busiest arterial roads and improve mobility for commuters from north and east Delhi. It will also strengthen links to Faridabad, Ghaziabad and the upcoming Noida airport, while improving interstate access toward Jaipur, Mumbai and Kolkata via the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway. By diverting traffic from NH-2 and NH-48, the corridor is expected to deliver significant relief across the broader NCR.
