The Union Cabinet has approved a ₹6,969.67 crore infrastructure project to build a 6-lane, 8.1-km tunnel connecting Dwarka Expressway with Vasant Kunj's Nelson Mandela Road, aiming to transform traffic flow across Delhi-NCR.
The project includes a modern twin-tube tunnel beneath the Southern Ridge Forest, elevated corridors, flyovers, and improved connectivity to IGI Airport, Gurugram, Noida, Ghaziabad, West Delhi, and South Delhi. Expected to be completed within five years under the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM), the project is also projected to generate over 1.7 million human-days of employment, while reducing congestion and improving regional connectivity.
