Months after Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari announced that they would start building a new expressway connecting Gurgaon and Mumbai, the government is planning to extend the road to Delhi.

According to The Times of  India reports, a new eight-lane road would be built connecting the Western Peripheral Expressway (WPE) with the DND Flyway in Delhi.

The Mumbai expressway will meet the WPE near Sohna. Officials said the connecting road from WPE to DND would be about 58 km and the construction cost would be around Rs 20 billion. Land acquisition cost has not been estimated yet.
