Dwarka Expressway鈥檚 wait has finally come to an end. The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has issued a notification which grants the national highway (NH) status to the 28-km-long Dwarka Expressway. The Dwarka Expressway starts from Delhi鈥檚 Shiv Murti and ends at Kherki Daula in Gurugram. The announcement of giving this status to Dwarka Expressway a year ago was made by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari.
On completion, the road will become an alternate route between Delhi-Gurgaon; it is expected to reduce traffic significantly on the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway. NHAI has also specified the speed limit of 80 kmph on the Dwarka Expressway. This is being seen as a move which will push the much delayed project near completion.
Taking note of the request of the Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar during the Global Investor Summit in March 2016, the Union Minister has announced to give NH status to the road. Later in May 2016, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has given in-principal approval to Dwarka Expressway, and finally now, NHAI has issued a notification regarding to this.
Developers are happy with this development. 鈥淲e welcome the move as this will allow a positive drift in the momentum for Gurugram's real estate market. NH status will boost infrastructure development of the area and likely to promote investment in new Gurugram,鈥� says Rahul Singla, Director, Mapsko.
According to the NHAI鈥檚 notification, the 28-km-long Dwarka Expressway, which starts from Shiv Murti in Delhi on NH-8 and passes from the parallel of Terminal-3 of Delhi Airport up to the junction of sector 25 and 26 in Dwarka, named as Barthal Chowk, from where it will take a left and go straight to Kharki Daula in Gurugram.
As per reports, the land acquisition process has been initiated in the villages of Bamnauli and Bijawan, with a total of 24 hectare, which needs to be acquired.
The horizontal alignment of the Dwarka Expressway is designed for a speed of about 80 kmph. The main roadway is proposed to be of eight lanes with three lane service road on either side. At the intersections flyover has been proposed. It has been proposed to have four lane underpasses, so that in future the crossings and junctions do not face jams.
