PM Modi Dwarka Expressway Inauguration: Several design firsts in Dwarka Expressway that PM Narendra Modi opens today
The expressway’s Delhi section near IGI airport features an 8-lane tunnel, which is 3.6km long. It’s a ‘shallow tunnel’, meaning one that doesn’t dive deep or need tunnel boring machines. The tunnel was necessary because no elevated structure can be built near the airport. “An elevated stretch would have become a security issue and impacted the airport radar,” said a source. This section sees very heavy traffic of around 40,000 cars per day, so building a tunnel was also a logistical challenge. The tunnel has an emergency exit and a dedicated control room.
