A total of two new connections will be completed by the end of 2024, which will allow commuters to get the most benefit out of the expressway &#8211; a 60 km road from the Delhi-Noida Direct (DND) Flyway to Sohna, and a direct access-controlled connection from the Delhi Mumbai expressway to Jaipur.<\/span><\/p><h2>Layout Of Delhi Mumbai Expressway<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Initially, the expressway will consist of four lanes on each side, but if needed, it can be extended to six lanes on each side. On the route, exits and entries will have two lanes each.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2>Which Cities are Connected to the Expressway?<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This new expressway will not only connect Mumbai and Delhi, but also Gurugram, Ranthambore, Mewat, Ratlam, Kota, Vadodara, Surat, and many other cities along the way. Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra will all be crossed as part of this project. As a result of this, several businesses should be able to benefit as well as travel between these two cities should be easier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2>No Entry Toll, Only Exit Toll<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the entry point of this expressway, there will not be any toll charges involved like there would be on most toll roads in India. Tolls will be calculated based on the distance travelled on the toll route and toll booths will be placed at each exit along the route for the purpose of collecting tolls. When you get off the expressway to go to Surat, your toll is paid at the exit booth, not when you join the expressway. The toll entryway snarls will also be reduced with this approach to collecting toll charges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to reports, tolls will be calculated at <strong>65 paise per kilometre<\/strong>, which would come to less than Rs 900 for the whole journey from Delhi to Mumbai. Compared to that, the Agra-Lucknow expressway charges Rs 2.45 per kilometre.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2>Overpasses Through Major Forests<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, the government is working to ensure that the expressway does not disturb or displacing wildlife. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wildlife_crossing\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Green overpasses<\/a><\/strong> are located every three and a half kilometres when passing through such areas. A series of tunnels would appear to road users as a series of structures that would provide safe passage for wildlife over the expressway.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As part of the expressway construction, the expressway will run through a number of environmentally sensitive areas. These include Ranthambore National Park, Boondi Ramgarh Tiger Reserve, and Kota Mukundra Hills Tiger Reserve. It will be the second largest green overpass in the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2>Medical, Rest &amp; Food Facilities on All the Way<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every 100 kilometres on the Delhi-Mumbai expressway, trauma centres will provide proper care to those who are injured or need medical care. Each side will have a food and rest centre every 50 kilometres. There are 93 rest stops along the 1,350km stretch, nearly three times more than just two every 50km.<\/span><\/p><h1>\u00a0<\/h1><h2>FAQ<\/h2><h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Q-When will the Delhi Mumbai Expressway be completed?<\/span><\/h5><p>It has been reported that the Sohna-Dausa stretch of the Delhi Mumbai Expressway First Stretch will open to the public on 12th February 2023.
