Expressways of India
Expressways are the highest class of roads in India. As of July 2023, India has a total length of
4,719 km (2,932 mi) of expressways. These are controlled-access highways where entrance and
exits are controlled by the use of cloverleaf or trumpet or grade separated interchanges that are
incorporated into the design of the expressway and designed for maximum speed of 120 km/h,
whereas National highways are flyover access or controlled-access highway, where entrance and
exit is through the side of the flyover, at each intersection of highway with road, flyovers are
provided to bypass the city/town/village traffic and these highways are designed for speed of 100
km/h. Some roads are not access-controlled expressways, but are still named as expressways, such Purvanchal Expressway, the third
as the Biju Expressway, these are actually state highways which are not declared by central longest expressway in India
government as an Expressway, hence not an Expressway or National Highway. Mumbai–Pune
Expressway is the first 6-lane operational expressway in India started in 2002. Expressways follow
standards set by Indian Roads Congress and Bureau of Indian Standards.
Greenfield Expressways in India are designed as 12-lane wide Expressways with the initial
construction of 8 lanes with minimum speed set as 120 km/h for all type of vehicles. Land for 4-lane
future expansion is reserved in the center of the expressways. Greenfield Expressways are designed
to avoid inhabited areas and go through new alignments to bring development to new areas and to
reduce land acquisition costs and construction timelines. The Delhi–Mumbai Expressway is an
example of a new 12-lane approach with initial 8-lane construction.
The majority of the investment required for constructing expressways comes from the central
government. Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra are the only states which are investing in building
expressways through dedicated expressway corporations.[4]
The National Highways Authority of India operating under the Ministry of Road Transport and
Highways will be in-charge of the construction and maintenance of expressways.[5] The National
Highways Development Project by the government of India aims to expand the country's current
expressway network and plans to add an additional 18,637 km of greenfield expressways by 2025
apart from building 4 lane greenfield national highways of 50,000 km length.[6][7] Currently NHDP
Mumbai–Pune Expressway, India's
Phase-6 and NHDP Phase-7 construction is going on along with Bharatmala project.
first ever and 6-lane expressway
Bharatmala is an ecosystem of road development which includes tunnels, bridges, elevated
corridors, flyovers, overpass, interchanges, bypasses, ring roads etc. to provide shortest & optimized
connectivity to multiple places, it is a centrally-sponsored and funded road and highways project of the Government of India[8] with a target
of constructing 83,677 km[9] of new highways over the next five years, was started in 2017 as well as conversion of 4 lane highways into 6
lane Brownfield expressways & some state highways into NH/NE.[10] Phase I of the Bharatmala project involves the construction of
34,800 km of highways (including the remaining projects under NHDP) at an estimated cost of ₹5.35 lakh crore by 2021–22.[11]
Characteristics
As of July 2023, 47 expressways with a combined length of 4,719 km (2,932.3 mi) are operational
in India, with 8,951 km more under construction. In 2014, the country had only approximately
1,021 km of expressways. All the expressways are 4 or more lane wide controlled-access highways,
where entrance and exit are controlled by the use of slip roads. India has the second largest road
network in the world with 6.3 million kms.[12]

State expressways
State Expressways are funded by State/Central Government to connect areas within the state. These expressways reduce travel time,
allowing for more more efficient travel and fuel savings. This also allows for a more equal distribution of goods, especially to rural areas.
These expressways are not part of National Expressways but may be operated by state authority or national authority.
For example Odisha State Government has built two expressways in Odisha.

Bypass Expressways(to bypass traffic within same city or between two cities)
Bypass Expressways to bypass city traffic such as ring roads, bypass, freeways and elevated roads exist entirely within a city or between
two cities. These expressways direct heavy traffic to the outskirts freeing city roads of traffic. This also allows outside traffic to directly pass
the city instead of going through it further limiting traffic within a city.
