Prime Minister, Narendra Modi inaugurated the 246-km Sohna-Dausa-Lalsot stretch of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway on 12 February 2023.
The stretch, which will cut down the travel time between Delhi and Jaipur to around 3.5-4 hours will be opened to the public on 14 February 2023. The travel time will further reduce by half an hour by December 2024 once the two under-construction links, namely DND Flyway (Delhi) to Sohna and Bandikui to Jaipur Ring Road are completed.
The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone of the 67-km greenfield Bandikui-Jaipur NH link from the expressway, along with two other projects.
The new highways link from Bandikui will give Jaipur direct connectivity with the expressway. The second project will connect the expressway with Ambala-Kotputli corridor near Alwar, while the other project, the Lalsot-Karoli road, will also connect the region with the expressway.
