Overview
The Delhi Dehradun Expressway is an
01 under construction, 210 km expressway,
which will connect Delhi, with Dehradun,
capital of Uttrakhand.

It is being built at a cost of around Rs

02 13,000 crore, and will reduce both travel
time and distance, from around 5-6 hours
to only 2.5 hours, and from around 280
km to 210 km. The project is expected to
be completed by May 2025.

It is all set to become India’s first

03 highway with 12 km long elevated
corridor for the protection of wildlife as
it will pass through forest areas. It will
also be Asia’s largest wildlife corridor.

 Challenges

As Phase II is Greenfield development and

01
is done from scratch, the other phases are
all Brownfield development areas. This
means that there is already existing
infrastructure in the other three phases,
and obtaining land from landlords, felling
trees are problems faced by NHAI .

Phase IV of the road construction is

02
challenging because of the multiple trees
that are cut down in the Rajaji National
Park and the risk to the wildlife that the
construction seems to pose. Many
environmentalists are continuing to file
litigations opposing the felling of trees for
construction and widening of roads.
