‘Dwarka e-way to be built in five phases’
The Northern Peripheral Road (NPR), popularly known as the Dwarka Expressway, will be constructed in five phases, Union minister Rao Inderjit Singh said in New Delhi on Monday after meeting members of an association that demanded speedy completion of the key road that promises to decongest the city hit by massive influx of in-transit vehicles.
“The final notification for acquiring land in New Delhi for the Expressway has been issued. The NHAI will soon start the process of acquiring land and construct the expressway in five phases,” Singh said. He said in the first phase, a 5.3km stretch will be constructed from Shiv Murti, located adjacent to the DelhiGurgaon Expressway in New Delhi, to the railway underbridge (RUB) in Dwarka. In the second phase, a 4.2 km stretch from the RUB to the New Delhi-Haryana border will be built. HTC
