The tunnel connecting the Kapashera border with NH-8 is 80 percent finished. According to the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), the tunnel between the Haryana border and Delhi's IGI Airport Terminal 3 will significantly reduce travel time, maybe to as little as 20 minutes.

Eight lanes would also be present in the tunnel, mirroring the design of the Dwarka Highway. Up till IGI Terminal 3, there will also be two tunnels. Construction on the second tunnel is currently 50% complete and is scheduled to be finished by the end of 2023. Once finished, visitors from Panipat will be able to travel 40 km to Alipur on the Urban Extension Road-2 (EUR-2) and connect to the Dwarka Highway. The tunnels will be used to reroute traffic headed for the airport, and according to NHAI, this will assist relieve congestion on city streets, shorten travel times, and benefit travellers financially.

According to Nitin Gadkari, India's Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, the Dwarka Motorway and tunnel projects might reduce traffic between Dhaula Kuan and Gurugram by 50%. The improvements, according to experts, are only a temporary fix for the city's traffic issues because congestion will inevitably worsen as vehicle density rises.
