Unlocking Faster Access to Delhi Airport
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has unveiled promising news for travelers in Delhi. During an interaction with the Indian diaspora in Prague, he shared exciting developments regarding the Urban Extension Road II (UER-II) project in Delhi. This significant infrastructure initiative is set to open its lanes to commuters within the next 2-3 months, and Gadkari emphasized the substantial impact it will have on travel to Delhi airport.
Gadkari addressed the Indian diaspora in the Czech Republic’s capital and revealed, “Normally, if you come to Delhi and then go to the airport, it will take 2 hours or even more due to traffic congestion. However, after this road opens, you can reach the airport in just 20 minutes.” This announcement was met with enthusiasm, as it promises to dramatically reduce travel time and ease traffic woes for those heading to the airport.
