Delhi-Chandigarh in 2 hours via Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway

North India's two largest trade centres are Delhi and Chandigarh. Both cities are growing rapidly and have some of the highest per-capita earnings in the country. It normally takes 5-6 hours to go from Delhi to Chandigarh. However, after five under-construction motorways are completed, travel time will be reduced to just two hours.

When the Dwarka Expressway, the Urban-Extension Road Expressway, and the Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressways open, two-hour transit between Delhi and Chandigarh will be a reality.

The whole length of the road will be only 20 kilometres shorter than the old Delhi-Chandigarh route. However, because of travel speeds of up to 120 km/h on five motorways, the journey from Delhi to Chandigarh will likely take only two hours. Extensive signage will be constructed to direct people to Chandigarh, Amritsar, and Katra in Jammu.

Commuters from Delhi will take the Dwarka Expressway and then the Urban Extension Road. They would arrive at the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway after a 40-kilometer trip.

The commuters will then take the Delhi-Amritsar-Katra (DAK) Expressway for 80 kms. After covering the 80 km stretch, they will take the Trans-Haryana Expressway to reach Ambala.

The DAK Expressway will reduce the travel time between Delhi and Amritsar to four hours and between Delhi and Katra to 6 hours from 14 hours.
