Delhi Approves Rs 7,000-Crore Dwarka Tunnel Corridor to Improve Connectivity
The Delhi government has approved an 8.1-km, six-lane, access-controlled road corridor connecting the Dwarka Expressway's Shiv Murti Interchange to Nelson Mandela Marg in Vasant Kunj. Estimated at nearly Rs 7,000 crore and developed by NHAI under the Hybrid Annuity Model, the project features a 3.14-km twin-tube tunnel beneath Delhi's Southern Ridge. It aims to reduce congestion on key routes like Dhaula Kuan-IGI Airport and Mahipalpur, offering faster, more predictable travel between West and South Delhi, and improving connectivity with Gurugram and the airport.
