New Expressway: The first section of the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway, which runs from Akshardham to the Eastern Peripheral Expressway (EPE), will open for traffic by November this year. This new section is expected to bring much-needed relief to commuters travelling between Delhi and Uttar Pradesh from the daily traffic congestion.
The 32-km access controlled section running between Delhi and EPE has about 19 km of elevated road. There will be a six-lane service road below for local traffic and an elevated section for through traffic.
According to media reports, an official said, “The traffic flow on the service road will also improve as the entire stretch is being improved by the NHAI as part of the project. Dividing the traffic will also provide relief to local commuters.”
