Delhi-Dehradun Expressway trial run completes successfully
The Delhi-Saharanpur-Dehradun Expressway just had its first successful trial run on December 1, 2025.
This new road is set to slash the Delhi-to-Dehradun trip from over six hours to just about two and a half—making weekend getaways or quick trips way more doable.
The 210km route starts at Akshardham in Delhi and passes through Baghpat, Shamli, and Saharanpur before reaching Dehradun.

Built for ₹11,868.6 crore, the expressway faced some delays due to a tricky power line issue near Saharanpur but got back on track after a planned shutdown.
Once it's fully open, expect smoother connectivity between cities, less travel fatigue, and real savings on fuel—definitely a win for anyone who loves hitting the road or needs to commute between these places.
