The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is set to develop secondary service lanes along the Urban Extension-2 Road (UER-2) in Delhi, aimed at improving local connectivity for residents. This project, estimated at ₹121.57 crore (approximately $14.6 million USD), will create two-lane roads parallel to the main carriageway, addressing long-standing concerns from villagers about toll access and the absence of service lanes. The UER-2, launched in August last year, spans approximately 75.7 km and has been the subject of multiple protests from residents of Dwarka, Najafgarh, Mundka, and other areas, who argue that the lack of alternative routes forces them to use the tolled expressway for short trips. The service lanes are expected to alleviate these issues by providing easier access to local markets, schools, and workplaces without incurring toll charges. The project is anticipated to be completed in nine months, with the selected firm also responsible for maintenance for 10 years. NHAI is coordinating with the Delhi government and local agencies to ensure seamless integration with existing road infrastructure.
