Route Map
The expressway connects Delhi → Baghpat → Baraut → Muzaffarnagar → Shamli → Saharanpur → Dehradun. Strategic links will also provide access to Haridwar and the Char Dham Highway, promoting both tourism and commerce.
Delays and Current Status
While the initial completion deadline was July 2025, minor delays due to land acquisition and pillar damage pushed the date to October. Partial sections may open earlier in phases, with the Akshardham–EPE (Eastern Peripheral Expressway) segment expected to be operational by August.
Why It Matters
The Dehradun–Delhi Expressway is not just a road—it's a game-changer for logistics, tourism, pilgrim travel, and regional development. It’s poised to become a model for smart, eco-sensitive expressway infrastructure in India.
