Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday (April 14, 2026) inaugurated a six-lane Delhi-Dehradun expressway, a ₹12,000-crore highway project that is set to reduce travel time between the two cities from five-six hours to about 2-2.5 hours.
The 213-km access-controlled corridor now open for use is expected to significantly improve regional connectivity, linking key towns, including Baghpat, Baraut, Shamli and Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh, before reaching Dehradun. It will also integrate with major national corridors, including the Delhi-Mumbai, Delhi-Katra, and Delhi-Meerut expressways.
