Delhi-Vadodara road journey will now take just 10 hours

The road journey time between Delhi and Vadodara will now take just 10 hours. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Monday, October 2, inaugurate the second stretch of the Delhi-Mumbai expressway up to Gujarat. The Delhi-Vadodara Expressway is developed at a cost of about Rs 11,895 crore.

The distance between the two cities via road was more than 1,000 kms as per the earlier routes. The distance will be reduced to 845 kms with the new expressway.

The new expressway will pass through Sohna, Dausa, Lalsot Sawai Madhopur, Kota, Ratlam Dahod and Godhra. "It is an access-controlled expressway and cars can run at a speed of 120 kmph. This eight-lane e-way will allow a smooth flow of traffic. It is going to ease the journey between the two cities while offering better connectivity to Jaipur, Kota, Chittorgarh, Indore, Ujjain, Bhopal, and Ahmedabad," a Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) official told News18.
