Work on Dwarka Expressway Gains Pace

The construction of Dwarka Expressway or Northern Peripheral Road has been put on fast track.

The work on the 27-km-long expressway is lagging seven years behind schedule. However, it gained pace. In May, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways issued a notification for land acquisition in Delhi under Section 3(A) of the National Highways Act, 1956.

The notification will speed up the land acquisition for around 5 km stretch of the expressway, starting from the Delhi-Haryana border to the Dwarka Sector 21 metro station.

Dwarka Expressway houses over 150 housing projects. However, only 7500 units have delivered out of total of 97000 residential units. In another move expected to boost realty, the Basai Railway Overbridge (ROB) on the expressway is set to be opened soon.

“Dwarka Expressway is touted to be the second real estate hub in Delhi-NCR. The completion of the expressway will boost connectivity for residents of Sector 81, 82 and 83 and would be a major relief for buyers. Connectivity due to NPR and SCR will eliminate traffic snarls and would also herald the development of the area,” Rahul Singla, Director, Mapsko Group said.

Huda administrator Mr. Yashpal Yadav informed residents near Kherki Dhaula and in New Palam Vihar have been allotted plots in March and April respectively.

“We are hopeful of completing the 18-km section of the expressway by the year-end,” he added.

The completion of Dwarka Expressway and opening of Basai Railway Overbridge will be a boon for residents of the area. It will also benefit developers like Vatika Group, M3M, Elan Group, Tata Housing, Godrej Properties, DLF Gardencity, Mapsko Group and Shobha Developers. Gurgaon is a fast developing city and this move will immensely contribute to the development of the area. Also, the move will eliminate traffic snarls and cut down travel time for people.
