Delhi-Mumbai e-way gets multiple connects in NCR

NHAI has approved a plan to build an access-controlled road from the Western Peripheral Expressway (WPE) near Sohna, connecting East and South Delhi to Manesar. The six-lane Delhi-Mumbai Expressway will also be extended up to the Ring Road. The 59-km stretch of the expressway will include the Kalindi Kunj bypass, the revamped Faridabad bypass greenfield stretch connecting the WPE and Delhi-Agra highway. This stretch will enable commuters coming from East Delhi, Noida and Ghaziabad to bypass Ring Road and NH 8 and decongest traffic in Delhi. It will provide faster link from East and South Delhi to WPE that already provides direct connectivity to Manesar. The first section of the four-sectioned stretch will be a 7.3-km corridor from DND Flyway, which will be a six-lane elevated road passing over the Yamuna floodplain. The existing route between Kalini Kunj and Faridabad bypass through Meethapur will be transformed into a 6.7-km, six-lane expressway with service roads and also the 25-km Faridabad bypass will be made into a six-lane corridor with service roads. The remaining 20 km section between the WPE and the Delhi-Agra highway will also have six lanes. The Expressway will also have 13 flyovers, two railway under and over bridges, and 10 minor bridges.
