Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway on April 14, a 210-km high-speed corridor that connects Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. Built at an estimated cost of ₹12,000 crore (approximately $1.45 billion USD), this expressway aims to reduce travel time between Delhi and Dehradun from 6.5 hours to just 2.5 hours, alleviating congestion on major routes like the Delhi-Meerut corridor. The expressway begins near Akshardham Temple in Delhi and traverses through Baghpat, Baraut, Shamli, and Saharanpur before reaching Dehradun. Designed as a six-lane access-controlled highway, it accommodates speeds of up to 100 km/h. The project includes seven interchanges, two rail overbridges, ten major bridges, and fourteen wayside amenities to enhance commuter safety and convenience. Notably, a 12-km elevated section passes through Rajaji National Park, incorporating wildlife protection measures such as two 200-metre elephant underpasses and six dedicated animal crossings. Additionally, the expressway will connect to the Char Dham Highway, improving access to significant pilgrimage sites and hill stations in Uttarakhand.
