The first leg of the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway, stretching from Akshardham to the Eastern Peripheral Expressway (EPE) section, will be operational by November this year.

This new 32-kilometer section, which includes an impressive 19 kilometres of high-road, aims to alleviate the daily traffic congestion that people travelling from Delhi to Uttar Pradesh encounter.

Exits will be available at Khajuri Chowk, Sonia Vihar, Vijay Vihar, and Mandola.
