There have been several infrastructural progressions in India. The newly-built Atal Rohtang tunnel attracted many from around the country, and the city of Ayodhya is a marvel in the making. Mumbai to Delhi can be covered in 15 hours by Rajdhani Express. However, the travel time by Rajdhani Express is expected to reduce to 12 hours. Thanks to the slew of infrastructure works that include strengthening of railway tracks, construction of compound walls, and fitting the train with the anti-collision system to avoid accidents. Rajdhani will run at 160km/hour with the new infrastructure.
Coming to the roads, the distance between Delhi and Mumbai will drastically reduce by 220Km with the upcoming Greenfield Expressway, which will also be the longest in the country.
It Will Be An Eight-Lane Highway
The new Mumbai-Delhi Expressway will span 1,275 km; it will be an eight-lane highway with the provisions to expand it into 12-lanes in the future. At the same time, this highway will allow vehicles to run at a speed of 120 km per hour. While the annual plan for national highway works in Maharashtra was approved for ₹2,727 crores, this project’s cost has been stretched to ₹5801 crore now.
The Expressway Will Have A Network Of Side Amenities
There is more to this developing expressway. A 75-way side amenities network is planned on either side of the expressways at an interval of 50 kilometres. In addition, five major bridges and ten small bridges will be reconstructed for ₹429 crores. Soon The New Expressway From Delhi Will Make You Reach Dehradun In Just 2.5 Hours!
The Delhi-Mumbai Greenfield Expressway is projected to be completed by March 2024.
