According to NHAI, which granted the national highway status to the 28 km, access-controlled Dwarka Expressway, the horizontal alignment of the expressway is designed for speeds of around 80 kmph.

With an investment of ₹9,000 crore, it boasts the longest and widest urban road tunnel in India, measuring 3.6 kilometers in length and featuring eight lanes. (PTI)
One of the primary objectives of the Dwarka Expressway is to provide an alternate route to reach the Indira Gandhi International Airport, thereby reducing traffic on National Highway 8 by up to 50 per cent.
The design of the Dwarka Expressway incorporates learnings from the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway, ensuring a fully access-controlled corridor, three-level grade segregation at major junctions, and complete separation of local traffic.
The expressway will also provide direct access to the upcoming India International Convention Centre in Sector 25 in Dwarka, enhancing connectivity and accessibility to this key area.
