This expressway will start from Akshardham in Delhi and reach Dehradun via Baghpat, Baraut, Shamli and Saharanpur. Its construction will boost economic activities in these cities of Uttar Pradesh. Transportation of goods will become easier for traders and the tourism sector is also expected to see a huge boom. A separate link road has also been provided for the passengers going to Haridwar, due to which the journey from Delhi to Haridwar can be completed in a very short time.

Tourism and economy will get a new flight

Prime Minister Modi has described this project as the ‘new lifeline of development’. This expressway will prove to be a boon for the devotees going on Dehradun as well as Mussoorie, Rishikesh and Chardham Yatra. Due to better connectivity, new employment opportunities will be created in the hilly areas of Uttarakhand and the hotel industry will also get big benefits. This expressway is a wonderful example of India’s modern transportation system.
