PM Modi expected to inaugurate Gurugram section of Dwarka Expressway in June

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to inaugurate the Gurugram section of the Dwarka Expressway in June this year. The Dwarka Expressway is a mega project with a budget of Rs 9,000 crore, which will start from near the Kherki Daula toll plaza in Gurugram and end at Shivmurti in Mahipalpur, Delhi. 

The Gurugram segment of the expressway and the cloverleaf flyover at the Kherki Daula toll plaza on the Delhi-Jaipur Motorway are expected to be finished by May 15. The Northern Peripheral Road or NH 248-BB, commonly called the Dwarka Expressway, is expected to ease traffic on the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway and other arterial roads. 

With the inauguration of this expressway, the commuting time between Delhi and Gurugram is expected to reduce significantly. The project will also provide a major boost to the real estate sector in Gurugram by improving connectivity to Delhi and other parts of the National Capital Region.

However, it is yet to be decided when the prime minister will inaugurate the expressway. Accordingly, the senior district administration officials would visit the Dwarka Motorway this week, along with officials from the National Highway Authority of India (NAHI).
