NHAI Starts Trial Run of Underpasses on Dwarka Expressway
To enhance traffic flow and decongest Delhi-Gurugram section of national highway (NH) 48, the National HIghways Authority of India (NHAI) has begun trial run of the tunnel and underpasses on the Delhi section of Dwarka Expressway starting from Thursday for three hours every day.
“The trials run mark a significant step toward enhancing mobility and reducing congestion in Delhi NCR,” the ministry of road transport and highways said in a statement issued on Wednesday. The tunnel is likely to be fully operational from 5th June 2025.
“The trial period will help NHAI to monitor and evaluate traffic patterns, safety measures, and infrastructure efficiency to ensure seamless integration into the city’s transport network,” it added.
As per the statement, the tunnel has been built using advanced engineering and safety features and is equipped with CCTV surveillance, a dedicated control room, and emergency exits to ensure commuter safety and efficiency.
“The tunnel’s strategic location and layout will benefit a large number of daily commuters and reduce the burden on surface roads and reduce congestion by connecting Dwarka Expressway to the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport,” it added.
