The much-delayed package two of the Dwarka Expressway has received the Delhi government's approval to start construction. The permission for transplanting and felling trees on this stretch was granted recently by the Forest department. The 29.1-km Dwarka Expressway will connect Shiv Murti at Mahipalpur to a point near Kherki Daula toll plaza, and further connect the Southern Peripheral Road with Delhi Gurgaon Expressway through an interchange, said chief general manager, NHAI, Manoj Kumar. The Dwarka Expressway is being developed in four packages whereby Package two is a 4.5-km-long elevated road from Dwarka Sector 21 underpass to the Haryana border. It will comprise separate elevated structures, which will run parallel to each other and have a large interchange to provide connectivity to Gurugram from Najafgarh, Dwarka and West Delhi. There will be eight elevated lanes and six surface lanes with multiple entry and exit points from Urban Estate Road-2 and the India International Convention Centre in Dwarka Sector- 25.
