Delhi Set for ₹11,000 Crore Road Boost as PM Modi to Inaugurate Two Highway Projects Today

PM Modi to Inaugurate ₹11,000 Crore Highway Projects in Delhi to Ease Traffic.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate two major highway projects in Delhi on Sunday, developed at a combined cost of nearly ₹11,000 crore. The projects—the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and a stretch of the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II)—aim to decongest the capital and improve travel connectivity across the National Capital Region (NCR).

The inauguration ceremony will take place at 12:30 pm in Rohini, where PM Modi will also review the projects on site. According to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), “These initiatives reflect Prime Minister Modi’s vision of creating world-class infrastructure that enhances ease of living and ensures seamless mobility.”

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, and other dignitaries are expected to attend.

About the Projects
The 10.1-km Delhi segment of the Dwarka Expressway, built at a cost of ₹5,360 crore, connects Shiv Murti intersection to Dwarka Sector-21 and extends up to the Delhi-Haryana border. It links Yashobhoomi, the Blue and Orange lines of the Delhi Metro, the upcoming Bijwasan railway station, and the Dwarka bus depot. The Haryana portion of the expressway was inaugurated by PM Modi in March 2024.

The Alipur–Dichaon Kalan stretch of UER-II, costing around ₹5,580 crore, features new links to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat. The projects are expected to divert traffic from Delhi’s inner and outer Ring Roads, reduce congestion at key junctions such as Mukarba Chowk, Dhaula Kuan, and NH-09, and improve industrial and goods movement across the NCR.

Traffic Advisory
Due to the inauguration, Delhi Traffic Police has issued restrictions in West Delhi and Rohini from 6 am to 2 pm on Sunday. Vehicular movement will be restricted on UER-II, Rohtak Road (Peeragarhi–Tikri Border), Bhagwan Mahavir Road, Bawana Road, Kanjhawala Road, Kanjhawala Link Road, and Badsha Dahiya Marg.

Commercial vehicles will be diverted from Tikri Border–Peeragarhi stretch with alternate routes via Ghevra More, Mundka Red Light, Nangloi Chowk, and other points. Heavy vehicles in Rohini will be stopped at multiple intersections, including Madhuban Chowk, Deepali Chowk, and Wazirpur Depot. Commuters are advised to plan ahead and use the Delhi Metro where possible.
