New Delhi, 16th Aug: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate two major National Highway projects worth a combined cost of nearly ₹11,000 crore on August 17, 2025, in Rohini, Delhi. These projects, which include the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II), are part of the government’s plan to decongest the capital.
The 10.1 km long Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway has been built at a cost of around ₹5,360 crore. This section will also provide multi-modal connectivity to key locations such as the Yashobhoomi convention center, Delhi Metro lines, and the upcoming Bijwasan railway station. The entire 29-kilometer Dwarka Expressway has been developed at a total cost of around ₹9,000 crore, with the Haryana section having been inaugurated by the Prime Minister in March 2024.
Additionally, the Prime Minister will inaugurate the Alipur to Dichaon Kalan stretch of the Urban Extension Road-II, along with new links to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, at a cost of approximately ₹5,580 crore. The UER-II is conceptualized as Delhi’s third ring road and is expected to significantly ease traffic on the Inner and Outer Ring Roads and major choke points like Mukarba Chowk and Dhaula Kuan.
The projects are a testament to the government’s vision of creating world-class infrastructure that enhances ease of living and ensures seamless mobility.
