Noida to Delhi IGI airport in just 20 minutes! PM Modi to inaugurate these expressways; it costs…, will connect…
The government is all set to provide big relief to Noida residents. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) on Sunday, August 17, 2025. Once operational, the journey from Noida to Indira Gandhi International Airport will take only 20 minutes. Previously, the residents of Noida used to face serious problems while going to the airport. Sometimes, they had to face hours of travel home from Delhi after landing. This new road is likely to eliminate all of that hassle.
As reported by India Today, this route will offer great convenience to travellers to and from West Delhi and the NCR, and relieve the congested Ring Road in the city. Once these projects are operational, they will relieve congestion on the internal roads, relieving the pressure on NH-48, NH-44, the Ring Road, and finally the Barapulla Elevated Corridor. The estimated construction cost of UER-II is Rs 3,300 crore.
When will PM Modi inaugurate the expressways?
According to the news agency ANI report, PM Modi will inaugurate two major National Highway projects worth a combined cost of nearly Rs 11,000 crore on August 17, 2025, at around 12:30 PM in Rohini, Delhi.
The projects, the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II), have been developed under the Government’s comprehensive plan to decongest the capital, with the objective of greatly improving connectivity, cutting travel time, and reducing traffic in Delhi and its surrounding areas. These initiatives reflect PM Modi’s vision of creating world-class infrastructure that enhances ease of living and ensures seamless mobility.
How much did these projects cost? What is the estimated construction cost?
According to the statement, the 10.1 km long Delhi section of Dwarka Expressway has been developed at a cost of around Rs. 5,360 crore, reported news agency ANI. The section will also provide Multi-modal connectivity to Yashobhoomi, DMRC Blue line and Orange line, the upcoming Bijwasan railway station and the Dwarka cluster Bus Depot.
The statement from PMO reads, “This section comprises: Package I covers a 5.9 km stretch from the Shiv Murti intersection to the Road Under Bridge (RUB) at Dwarka Sector-21, while Package II spans 4.2 km from the Dwarka Sector-21 RUB to the Delhi-Haryana border, offering direct connectivity to Urban Extension Road-II.”
The 19 km-long Haryana section of the Dwarka Expressway was earlier inaugurated by the Prime Minister in March 2024. Prime Minister will also inaugurate the Alipur to Dichaon Kalan stretch of Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) along with new links to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, built at a cost of around Rs. 5,580 Crores.
It will ease traffic on Delhi’s Inner and Outer Ring Roads and busy points like Mukarba Chowk, Dhaula Kuan, and NH-09. The new spurs will provide direct access to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, enhance industrial connectivity, reduce city traffic, and expedite goods movement in the NCR.
