Delhi-Mumbai Expressway Nears Completion, Promises Reduced Travel Time
The Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, India's longest at 1,386 km and costing Rs 95,000 crore, is nearing full operational status. Designed as an eight-lane, access-controlled corridor for speeds up to 120 kmph, it will reduce travel time between Gurugram and Vadodara from 20-22 hours to about 10-12 hours. Key features include a 4.9-km tunnel under the Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve in Kota, Rajasthan, enabling wildlife protection and bypassing a longer route. The expressway spans six states and includes sections already operational, with remaining stretches nearing completion.
