=>Dwarka Expressway: India’s first-ever elevated highway is Dwarka Expressway. This part of the expressway stretches from Dwarka (Delhi) to Kherki Daula Toll Plaza (Gurgaon, Haryana). The total length of Dwarka Expressway is 29 km, out of which 18.9 km falls in Haryana, while the remaining 10.1 km is in Delhi. This section of the Dwarka expressway will make travel easier and faster between Haryana and Delhi’s IGI Airport. The travel time on the stretch is expected to be around 30 minutes. 


It will have a number of underpasses, flyovers, tunnels and elevated structures. As this part is on an alternate road connecting Delhi and Gurgaon, it will cut traffic jams on the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway.
