Breakthrough has been achieved on the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway project. Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Shri Nitin Gadkari informed through a series of tweets that the last 20km stretch passes through eco-sensitive zone of Raja Ji National Park where Asia’s longest elevated wildlife corridor of 12km is being constructed. The project includes the 340m Daat Kali tunnel.  The Minister said the tunnel intends to protect the surrounding wildlife. Once completed, the expressway would reduce travel time between Dehradun-Delhi from 6 hrs to 2.30 hours & Delhi-Haridwar from 5 hours to 2 hours.
