The Delhi-Mumbai Expressway is one of the most awaited projects, as it will be the longest expressway in the world with a length of over 1,380 kilometres. The access-controlled highway will have 8 lanes in total. In fact, it will have space to further facilitate expansion to 12 lanes, when an increase in traffic volume is registered. The construction of the expressway is in full swing, and the Union Minister for MoRTH has shared images of the section of the highway that connects Khanpur Ghati and Haryana/Rajasthan Border. He tweeted, “The section between the Khanpur Ghati & Haryana/Rajasthan border which is also part of the Delhi-Vadodara-Mumbai Expressway (NE-4), is currently being constructed with a layout of the access-controlled 8-lane carriageway.”
