Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate two major national highway projects worth a total of nearly Rs 11,000 crore in the Rohini area of the national capital on Sunday.
The Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) are expected to vastly improve connectivity, cut travel time, and reduce traffic in Delhi and its surrounding areas, the Prime Minister's Office said on Saturday.
The new stretches have been developed under the comprehensive plan to decongest the capital, said the PM's Office. The statement further said, "These initiatives reflect Prime Minister Modi's vision of creating world-class infrastructure that enhances ease of living and ensures seamless mobility."

The section will also provide multi-modal connectivity to Yashobhoomi, DMRC Blue line and Orange line, the upcoming Bijwasan railway station and the Dwarka cluster bus depot, it said.
This project comprises a 5.9 km-section, from Shiv Murti intersection to the Road Under Bridge (RUB) at Dwarka Sector-21 and a 4.2 km-section from the RUB to the Delhi-Haryana border, providing direct connectivity to Urban Extension Road-II.
The 19 km-long Haryana section of the Dwarka Expressway was inaugurated by Modi in March 2024, the statement added.
PM Modi will also inaugurate the Alipur to Dichaon Kalan stretch of Urban Extension Road-II, along with new links to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, built at a cost of around Rs 5,580 crore.
It will ease traffic on Delhi's inner and outer Ring Roads and busy points like Mukarba Chowk, Dhaula Kuan, and NH-09. The new spurs will give direct access to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, improve industrial connectivity, cut city traffic, and speed up goods movement in the national capital region, it said.
The project is also expected to benefit the real estate sector of the national capital region. "By establishing a seamless link between the capital and Gurugram, this landmark corridor is set to enhance connectivity, shorten travel times and open new avenues for integrated urban growth," said Vineet Dawar, president - sales and strategy, Elan Group.
