Modi Inaugurates Game-Changing Expressways to Transform Delhi's Traffic

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Delhi stretch of the Dwarka Expressway and Urban Extension Road-II to alleviate Delhi's traffic congestion. These projects, costing around Rs 11,000 crore, aim to enhance connectivity, reduce travel time, and use waste resources innovatively. Modi stressed the BJP's commitment to transparent governance.

In a major infrastructure push, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the much-anticipated Delhi stretch of the Dwarka Expressway and Urban Extension Road-II on Sunday. Valued at approximately Rs 11,000 crore, these projects aim to drastically reduce traffic congestion and cut travel times across the national capital region.

The expressways are part of the government's wider strategy to decongest Delhi and improve connectivity to key areas such as the IGI Airport. Modi highlighted the innovative use of repurposed waste in the construction process, turning a mounting garbage problem into a valuable resource for infrastructure development.

Modi also emphasized a shift towards transparency under his administration, contrasting it with past governments, and pointed out the significant increases in infrastructure budget and employment opportunities these projects have created. With the Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari stating that traffic congestion in Delhi could be reduced by up to 50%, expectations are high for immediate urban relief.
