UER-2 Opening Date: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Urban Extension Road (UER-2) and the Delhi stretch of the Dwarka Expressway on Sunday, August 17. With the launch, commuters will enjoy faster, smoother, and direct connectivity to the airport and major parts of the National Capital Region (NCR). Before the inauguration, PM Modi will also hold a 200 m roadshow in Mundka.

Urban Extension Road-2 (UER-2) has been built as a new ring road in the national capital. The specialty of this road is that it is not only connected to many major areas in Delhi including Mundka, but it is also connected to many highways and expressways including Delhi-Chandigarh Highway, and Dwarka Expressway.

UER-2 Opening Date: Travel To Airport In 20 Minutes

At present, it takes nearly two hours to reach the airport from various parts of Delhi. With the completion of UER-2, the travel time will be reduced to just 20 minutes. This will not only ease traffic congestion but also lead to significant savings in fuel.

The idea for the Urban Extension Road was announced three years ago by Nitin Gadkari, and it's now on the verge of being opened to the public. Built at an estimated cost of Rs 8,000 crore, it will have four to six lanes, designed for high-speed, uninterrupted traffic flow.

UER-2 Opening Date: Route Details

UER-2 starts from Alipur on the Delhi-Chandigarh Highway and runs through Mundka, Bakkarwala, Najafgarh, and Dwarka before joining the Dwarka Expressway. From there, it seamlessly connects to Mahipalpur, linking up with the Delhi-Jaipur Highway and providing direct access to the airport.

The Dwarka Expressway itself, which begins at Kherki Daula and ends at Shiv Murti in Mahipalpur, was partly inaugurated last year. The stretch has already halved the travel time from Manesar to the airport from nearly two hours to just 20–25 minutes.

- Dedicated 8-km road has been built to connect Bahadurgarh with UER-2 at Dichaon Kalan.

- UER-2 intersects the Delhi-Rohtak Highway at Mundka and connects to the Sonipat Highway at Bawana.

- The Dwarka Expressway also ties into the Gurugram-Sohna Highway, which feeds into the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway.

These routes will create a robust network that allows travellers from multiple cities including Bahadurgarh, Rohtak, Panipat, and Gurugram to reach Palam Airport in time.
