Dwarka Expressway Gurgaon Reality

Dwarka Expressway Gurgaon

We are all aware of an ambitious plan of connecting 25 km approx. stretch of road between Dwarka, Delhi and Gurgaon at NH-8, had been named Dwarka Expressway. Projects like Dwarka Expressway are taken up by National Highway Authority of India, but in this project is an initiative of HUDA and Delhi Development Authority.
According to information out of total distance of 25 km, perhaps 15 kilometers of the expressway would run thru the suburbs of Gurgaon and ten kilometers through Delhi.
Since a lot of Real estate companies have their residential and commercial projects in proximity to this proposed expressway, therefore the promoters are taking the advantage in advertising nearness to Dwarka expressway corridor, which has yet to come.
There does not seem to be any visible progress on the stretch, yet it is understood from sources that HUDA is actively working on contract tenders of the project, but there does not seem to be any news on the progressive steps by Delhi state.
No visible progress has been noticed and there are no signs of the project neither at the beginning at Dwarka nor at the other end at NH-8. In fact there is “ZERO” level of progress at Village Kherki Daula on NH-8 (at toll barrier) whereas, this location is earmarked for ISBT and Metro.
Since this project is a JV of Delhi and Haryana and not of NHAI, therefore, besides a close coordination between the two states the priority levels as well as budgetary constraints can influence the progress.
