Additional Features

Dwarka Expressway Map

The construction work on the Dwarka Expressway project (NH 248-BB) is currently underway as an access-restricted expressway. The highway will link Kherki Dhaula in Haryana with Mahipalpur (Shiv Murti) in Delhi via New Gurgaon (Gurugram).

The Northern Peripheral Road (NPR) was the project’s original name when it was first proposed in 2006, but the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) subsequently received control of it.

The highway was built by the two construction firms J Kumar and Larsen & Toubro. More than 20 flyovers and bridges, 2 train overbridges and underpasses, 11 car underpasses, 20 subterranean pedestrian crossings, and a 2.5 m wide cycle and bike trail are all included in the project.

The anticipated completion and opening date for the Dwarka Expressway project is June 2023, which is later than the project’s initial completion date of December 2022.

  • Total Estimated Cost: Rs. 8,662 crore
  • Length: 29.10 km
  • Lanes: 8 lanes + local service lanes
  • Owner: National Highway Authority of India (NHAI)
  • Status: Under Construction
  • Completion Deadline: 2022-end

The DMRC has planned to build a subway line that will follow the route of the Dwarka Expressway. However, the Haryana government is still considering whether to approve this initiative as well as a number of others.

In addition, as part of the Dwarka Expressway project’s Package 5, a new 5 km tunnel has been suggested to link Terminal 3 at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport.
