NHAI Needs Eight Point Five Acres for Bijwasan Toll Underpass

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has identified the need for eight point five acres of land to construct a toll underpass at Bijwasan on the Dwarka E way, according to a recent survey. The survey outlines the footprint required for the underpass and associated approach roads to integrate with the existing expressway network. Officials noted that the acquisition covers parcels adjacent to the toll plaza to enable grade separation and uninterrupted traffic flow.

The land requirement follows detailed cadastral mapping and feasibility checks undertaken as part of the Dwarka E way improvement works. The area sought includes both public and privately held plots and has been demarcated to accommodate construction activities, drainage works and temporary diversion alignments. Local authorities have been informed and preliminary notices relating to land acquisition procedures have been prepared.

The Authority will follow statutory procedures for acquisition and compensation under applicable laws, with coordination planned between central and municipal agencies. Survey documentation will support final design refinement and permit clearances before work commencement. Stakeholder consultations are scheduled to address rehabilitation, access continuity and traffic management during construction. Timelines for award of contracts and start of construction will be set once clearances are obtained and compensation settlements are finalised.

The underpass is intended to reduce congestion at the Bijwasan toll point and improve connectivity between the Dwarka corridor and adjoining urban areas. Design provision includes dedicated lanes for uninterrupted movement of through traffic while preserving local access across the carriageway. The NHAI will publish detailed project reports and updates as the acquisition and approval process proceeds. Coordinated traffic diversions and phased construction techniques will be implemented in phases to safeguard commuter access and limit disturbance to local commerce while essential utility relocation and environmental mitigation measures are completed prior to full scale works to minimise disruption.
