PM Modi Inaugurates Dwarka Expressway & Urban Extension Road-II: A Major Upgrade for Delhi-NCR Connectivity
In a landmark event, Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially inaugurated the much-anticipated Dwarka Expressway and Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) in Delhi, marking a significant milestone in the city’s infrastructure development. This initiative is seen as a catalyst for transforming the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR) into a model of growth and connectivity.
During the inauguration, PM Modi emphasized the projects as pivotal steps toward realizing his vision of a ‘Vikas Model’ for the nation’s capital. Highlighting the expressway’s potential, he stated that it would substantially ease travel for thousands of commuters traversing the NCR daily, connecting major urban hubs like Gurugram, Chandigarh, and extending to Punjab and Jammu & Kashmir.
One of the primary benefits of the Dwarka Expressway and UER-II is the anticipated reduction in traffic congestion within Delhi. With thousands of vehicles currently navigating the congested city streets, these new routes promise to improve not only travel times but also fuel efficiency for numerous commuters. This is particularly significant for farmers, laborers, and local businesses, who depend on efficient transport for their livelihoods.
The Prime Minister linked the unveiling of these infrastructure projects to his broader vision for an economically robust and developed India, encapsulated in his Independence Day speech advocating for a ‘Viksit Bharat’. He articulated the notion that Delhi should exemplify India’s aspirations as a global economic powerhouse, reflecting relentless progress and development.
The inauguration ceremony also saw the presence of prominent figures such as Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, and Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, all of whom shared in the optimistic outlook regarding the transformative potential of these projects.
As Delhi and its neighboring regions gear up for this transformative leap in connectivity, the Dwarka Expressway and UER-II stand as testaments to the government’s commitment to building infrastructure that not only meets current demands but also paves the way for future growth. This mega project is expected to bring a shift in Delhi-NCR’s economic landscape, making it an exemplar of modern urban planning and integrated connectivity.
