Gadkari applauds India's first elevated 8-lane road

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has lauded the Dwarka Expressway, hailing it as a triumph of engineering and a cutting-edge project that highlights India's advancement in elevated road infrastructure. Extending from Shiv Murti on NH48 to Kherki Daula Toll Plaza, this groundbreaking initiative encompasses an impressive array of flyovers, tunnels, and underpasses. On both sides, the construction of a three-lane service road is in progress, enhancing connectivity and convenience.

At the core of this project lies the integration of an Intelligent Transport System (ITS), a testament to India's embrace of technological sophistication for enhancing transportation efficiency. However, the Dwarka Expressway has not escaped controversy. Legislators from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have raised allegations of a major scam, prompting calls for thorough investigations into the project's financial dealings.

Adding to the turmoil, a recent Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) audit report has brought attention to a significant cost escalation attributed to the elevated carriageway component of the project. This revelation has ignited political debates, with differing opinions on the rationale behind the cost increase.

Despite the controversies and debates surrounding its funding, the Dwarka Expressway remains a standout achievement in India's infrastructure landscape. Gadkari's praise for the project as a "marvel of engineering" underscores its significance as a pioneering endeavor in the realm of elevated road construction, reflecting India's ambition to create world-class transportation corridors.
