Delhi-Mumbai Expressway work will be completed soon, Nitin Gadkari gave a big update

Delhi Mumbai Expressway: Big news has come regarding Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. The Delhi portion will be ready soon. Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari told in the Lok Sabha on Thursday that the first part from DND to Jaitpur will be ready by the month of June. Nitin Gadkari gave this good news in response to the question of South Delhi MP Ramveer Singh Bidhuri. Actually, the 59 kilometer DND-Faridabad-Sohna construction of Delhi-Mumbai Expressway is being done in three parts. Of these, the last two parts have already been constructed and the vehicles are also running. Now only the first part is left, which will open by June. However, many parts of the expressway have already been opened to the general public.

Road Minister Nitin Gadkari said that the most difficult part of Delhi-Mumbai Expressway i.e. 9 kilometer Package-1 from DND Junction to Jaitpur is almost ready. Its work has been completed up to 94% and it will be completely ready by June 2026. Nitin Gadkari also said that there was a slight delay in this because it took time to get approval from the UP Irrigation Department for the design of building a bridge over the Agra Canal. The minister also said that Rs 71,718 crore has been spent so far on the entire Delhi-Mumbai Expressway project. Meaning, it is on its way to becoming the most expensive and fastest highway in the country.

Tourism will get a boost

Nitin Gadkari ji had told in the month of November that the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway will be made of 8 lanes and with this the journey from Delhi to Mumbai which currently takes 24 hours, will be completed in just 12 hours. The entire route was being examined very closely so that the driver gets a more safe, comfortable and hassle-free enjoyable journey. Also, the world’s newest and best technology is being used to keep the cost of this project under control.

Gadkari has also said that after the construction of this highway, tourism will get a boost, the number of people traveling will increase and transportation will become very easy for everyone. On November 28, Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari inspected the progress of this expressway project in Surat, Gujarat and said that work is going on rapidly towards completing it as soon as possible. According to the minister, the quality of the road has been checked and small improvements are also underway to make it completely safe and comfortable.

Passengers will get this facility

Apart from this, a few days ago a new facility has been given to the passengers on Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. Helicopter service has been inaugurated in the rest area built at kilometer 125 of the expressway near the town named Pinan in Alwar district of Rajasthan. This service is being run by a company named “Book Your Helicopter” and its biggest advantage will be that if any road accident occurs, the injured can be immediately taken to the hospital by helicopter. This initiative will prove to save hundreds of precious lives every year on the busiest highways of the country.
