Much Awaited Delhi-Mumbai expressway to be inaugurated on Feb 12
On February 12, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the much-awaited Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. The 1,386-km expressway will connect Delhi and Mumbai. This expressway will cut the travel time to around 12 hours.
Cities on the route of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway will also come closer. Travel time between Delhi and Jaipur will be brought down to 2 hours.
The Expressway will be an eight-lane access-controlled greenfield expressway. This will be expanded to 12 lanes in future
The project’s initial budget in 2018 was ₹98,000 crore. 12 lakh tons of steel are to be used for the construction of the Delhi-Mumbai expressway which is equivalent to 50 Howrah Bridges. The project is going to generate 10 crore man-days of employment.
“We must do good for wildlife preservation. For the shielding of Wildlife Habitats, we are constructing overpasses, underpasses, and boundary walls on the #Delhi_Mumbai_Expresssway.”-Nitin Gadkari, Minister for Road Transport & Highways.
