Delhi-Dehradun Expressway has achieved a major milestone as the last 20 km stretch passing through the eco-sensitive zone of Raja Ji National Park has started construction that includes 340 mtr Daat Kali tunnel.
A breakthrough was achieved on Delhi-Dehradun Expressway project. The tunnel intends to protect the surrounding wildlife.
Once completed, the expressway would reduce travel time between Dehradun-Delhi from six hours to 2.30 hours and Delhi-Haridwar from five hours to two hours.
The Expressway is a part of Delhi Dehradun economic corridor, which is expected to be completed by March 2024. The final stretch of the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway will link Dehradun via the new Daat Kali Devi Tunnel.
Phase- IV route will go through a forest area surrounding the tunnel, comprising Shivalik Hills and Rajaji Tiger Reserve.
