दिल्ली मुंबई एक्सप्रेसवे कहां बनी है यह 8 लेन वाली सुरंग?
Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Wednesday confirmed that the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway is expected to be completed within the next two years. After the project is finished, people will be able to drive from Delhi to Mumbai’s Nariman Point and Jawaharlal Nehru Port in nearly 12 hours. Gadkari made the announcement during a public meeting in Mandana, where he reviewed the progress of the expressway and inspected the Mukundra Hills Tiger Reserve Tunnel. He said nearly 75 to 80 per cent of the Rs. 1.10 lakh crore expressway project has already been completed.
He assured the public that the remaining work would be finished within two years, making the expressway fully operational and significantly reducing travel time between Delhi and Mumbai.
