**Headline:** Prime Minister Modi to Inaugurate Key Highway Projects in Delhi
On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate two significant highway projects in Delhi, with a total investment of nearly Rs 11,000 crore. These initiatives, which include the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and a segment of the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II), are part of the central government’s efforts to alleviate traffic congestion and improve travel efficiency in the National Capital Region (NCR). The inauguration ceremony is set to take place at 12:30 PM in Rohini, where the Prime Minister will also conduct an on-site review of the projects.
According to an official statement from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), “These initiatives reflect Prime Minister Modi’s vision of creating world-class infrastructure that enhances ease of living and ensures seamless mobility.” The event will also be attended by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, and other prominent BJP leaders.
### Overview of the Projects
The 10.1-km Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway, developed at a cost of approximately Rs 5,360 crore, aims to provide multi-modal connectivity to key locations such as Yashobhoomi, the Delhi Metro’s Blue and Orange lines, the upcoming Bijwasan railway station, and the Dwarka cluster bus depot. This project is divided into two segments: one from the Shiv Murti intersection to Dwarka Sector-21, and the other extending to the Delhi-Haryana border, directly linking to UER-II. The Haryana portion of the expressway was inaugurated by PM Modi in March 2024.
Additionally, the Prime Minister will open the Alipur–Dichaon Kalan stretch of UER-II, along with new connections to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, which were developed at a cost of around Rs 5,580 crore. This expansion is expected to redirect heavy traffic away from Delhi’s inner and outer Ring Roads, alleviating congestion at critical points such as Mukarba Chowk, Dhaula Kuan, and NH-09. The new routes will also enhance industrial connectivity and facilitate the movement of goods in the national capital and surrounding areas.
### Traffic Advisory
In light of PM Modi’s inauguration event, the Delhi Traffic Police has issued a traffic advisory, warning of restrictions in parts of West Delhi and Rohini from 6 AM to 2 PM on Sunday. Vehicular movement will be prohibited on UER-II, Rohtak Road from Peeragarhi to Tikri Border, and several connecting roads. Key routes such as Bhagwan Mahavir Road, Bawana Road, Kanjhawala Road, Kanjhawala Link Road, and Badsha Dahiya Marg will also experience closures.
Commercial vehicles will be restricted on the Tikri Border-Peeragarhi stretch, with diversions in place at various points including Tikri Border, Ghevra More, Mundka Red Light, and Nangloi Chowk. In Rohini, heavy vehicles will be stopped at multiple intersections, including Madhuban Chowk and Deepali Chowk. Commuters are advised to plan their journeys in advance and consider using the Delhi Metro where possible.
### Conclusion
The inauguration of these highway projects marks a significant step towards improving infrastructure and connectivity in Delhi and the NCR. As the government continues to invest in world-class infrastructure, residents can look forward to enhanced mobility and reduced travel times in the region.
