The Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, has announced that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will officially inaugurate the Sohna-Dausa segment of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway on 12 February. The initial plan was to launch the highway on February 4th, but it was postponed.
"Change in the date. Now Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji will inaugurate the Sohna-Dausa stretch of the #Delhi_Mumbai_Expressway on 12th February," tweeted Gadkari.
Gadkari had earlier tweeted, "Going to be inaugurated by PM Shri @narendramodiJi on 4th Feb, the Sohna-Dausa stretch of the #Delhi_Mumbai_Expressway will facilitate commuters to reach Jaipur from Delhi in two hours."
The Delhi-Mumbai Expressway will cut the distance between Delhi and Jaipur's travel time in half, to roughly two hours.
According to the ministry, the 1,450 km long motorway is a prime example of top-notch highway construction.
