26-907: NH 248-BB , commonly known as Dwarka Expressway is a 27.6 km (17.1 mi) long, under construction, 8-lane (elevated) and 8-lane (service road), total 16-lane elevated grade separated expressway connecting Dwarka in Delhi to Kherki Daula Toll Plaza, Gurgaon in Haryana . The expressway takes off from km 20 milestone of NH 48 (old NH 8) at Shiv Murti in Mahipalpur in Delhi and terminate at km 40 of NH 48 near Kherki Daula Toll Plaza in Gurgaon in Haryana. The Dwarka Expressway has been planned as an alternate road link between Delhi and Gurgaon, and

52-604: A Congressional bill in 1944, and included $ 125 million for urban highways. The lead agency, the Federal Public Roads Administration (PRA) worked with state engineer associations to develop planning and design criteria. The PRA's leaders, especially Thomas H. MacDonald and Herbert S. Fairbank , were especially concerned about urban highways. Design standards were issued, with some opposition, which were significant improvements over existing designs. For example, minimum lane width of 12 feet and with

78-472: A master plan, which recommended that urban highways be "depressed or elevated". In 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt submitted a follow-on report, Interregional Highways , which contained illustrations of the depressed and elevated designs. The elevated illustration, reminiscent of the Miller Highway and some of its descendants, featured partial left lane ramps, a highway running across the width

104-504: A median of at least 4 feet (later standards would increase median sizing), minimal overpass heights were set at 14 feet, recommendations to acquire right of way sufficient for proper ramps of 3° great or less, right-side exit only and only to arterial connections. The Interstate standards have set the pace in the United States for optimal highway design, including those of elevated highways. Elevated expressways are now common around

130-567: A populated boulevard, almost building-to-building, a local traffic lanes underneath the highway. The report also includes a picture of the then-recently constructed Gowanus Parkway, and noted how it was thought to have been an appropriate placement that had a minimal effect on the community. (This was later disputed, and the Gowanus is also a case study for how elevated highways divide neighborhoods and contribute to urban blight.) The phrase Interregional Highways gave way to Interstate Highways in

This village has now become a village of rich villagers due to sale of their land in Gurgaon. The costliest real estate project "Vatika" is near to this village. There are many companies in and around this village. Few includes Carrier Airconditiong & Refrigeration, DC Design Pvt. Ltd., Groz Engineering Tools Private Limited, Metaltech motors pvt ltd, Cosmo Carrying Pvt ltd, Stella Industries limited. Haldiram factory and outlet

182-415: Is expected to be completed by May 2023. Work on Haryana portion can commence as of Dec 2018. Delhi has provided the land but yet to provide the forests clearance as of December 2018. Route alignment and phases/packages of this expressway being built by NHAI are as follows: The route alignment to the west of Gurgaon is as follows: Delhi–Jaipur SuperExpressway ( NH-352B ), is a greenfield expressway which

208-517: Is expected to ease the traffic situation on the Delhi–Gurgaon Expressway . Entire project, costing ₹ 7,500 crore was planned in 2006, contract was awarded in 2011. Of the original 18 km project, 14 km were completed by 2016. Several more kilometre project routes was added to the scope of the project as an extension. Various parts of the project remained delayed due to land acquisition and tree transplantation hurdles, resulting in

234-628: Is under construction of ₹6,530 crore 6-lane 195-km-long from Kherki Daula (from Dwarka Expressway in Gurgaon ) to Chandwaji (on NH-48 on northern outskirts of Jaipur ) runs parallel to western side of NH48. It cuts down Delhi–Jaipur distance by 40 km and travel time from 3–4 hours (270 km by Delhi–Mumbai Expressway ) to 2 hours. It passes through Haryana (Kherki Daula, Farrukhnagar , Pataudi , Taoru , Rewari , north of Bawal , Jhajhar & Nangal Choudhary ) and Rajasthan ( Behror , Kotputli , Shahpura & Chandwaji). In April 2023,

260-527: The Pulaski Skyway , and Moses' own Gowanus Parkway . At the start the 20th century, New York and New Jersey state officials realized that car traffic on ferries was increasing beyond the ability of the then-current ferry system. Planning for the Holland Tunnel started in 1919, and it was constructed from 1922 to 1927. As construction started, New Jersey began planning traffic flows between

286-510: The "highway wall" effect that could divide communities, were all improved in the 1940s through 1970s, partially by examining the deficiencies of this early elevated highway. In the mid-1930s, US Federal Highway legislation allocated budget for surveying and planning of roads, including "superhighways", across the nation, and ordered the chief of the Bureau of Public Roads to report findings and recommendations. The report, submitted in 1939, included

312-429: The 20th century. Concurrently, the increase of automobile and truck traffic early in the 20th century exacerbated many of the safety and free flow issues the railways already presented - and in fact, created additional hazards with railways. The increase in traffic also meant that for the first time, there was a need to develop new and improved roads between cities. By the 1920s, truck traffic in warehouse and dock areas

338-431: The Miller Highway, it included left lane exits and entrances, narrow lanes, and local surface lanes underneath the highway. The Miller Highway, through immature design and resulting problems, became a case study for highway engineering improvements. Engineering of paving, exit orientation, turn radius, drainage, curb height, ramp length, speed optimization, shoulders, maintenance procedures, noise abatement, and minimizing

364-485: The West Side Line whose tracks were on 11th Avenue), and others worked on various plans to take the railroad and passenger cars off the street, eliminating the major conflicts that led to injury, death, property damage, traffic jams, and delays in service. The Miller Highway , named after its chief proponent, Borough President Julius Miller , was constructed in sections, primarily from 1929 through 1937, and became

390-466: The earthworks had already started and expected completion date is 2025. Elevated highway Elevated highways are more expensive to build than at-grade highways, and are usually only used where there is some combination of the following on the desired route: Alternatives to elevated highways are: Early engineering for elevated highways owes much to early elevated railway design, which preceded them. Elevated highways were first used to: In

416-738: The intervention from the Prime Minister 's office in November 2018 to resolve the pending issues. Subsequently, the land for the 10 km section was handed by the Haryana and Delhi, AAI and HSVP were in the process of expediting the resolution in December 2018. One of the cause of delay was due to NHAI 's need for the land from DDA to transplant 13,000 trees from the route alignment, which in November 2018 Delhi's Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal agreed to provide after several years of inexplicable delays. In December, Haryana too handed over

442-674: The land for 10 km route to NHAI and was in process of handing over the remaining land for the 4 km route by 31 December 2018. Earlier in January 2018, AAI too had agreed to sell their land to NHAI for the route falling on their land. Put together all of this takes care of the land needed for the entire route from various parties i.e. AAI, DDA and HSVP. The Dwarka Expressway was envisaged as an alternate route for connecting Dwarka and Gurgaon in 2006. It would have been 18 km long, signal-free road, with 14 km in Gurgaon and rest in Delhi. A 3.2 km long Central Peripheral Road (CPR)

468-573: The late 19th century and early 20th century, railways and streetcars had frequent accidents where they traversed through population centers. These lead to the first " death avenues ", such as 11th Avenue in New York City . Aside from safety, carts and pedestrians crossing trains' paths slowed service. In addition, it became difficult to lay down rail lines, as the construction process was disruptive to normal traffic flow. The existing street grid also made it difficult to lay some railroad lines, as

494-603: The matter of allotment of alternate plots to oustees being heard in Punjab and Haryana High Court. On 28 May 2018, the High Court directed HUDA to allot alternate houses to 72 oustees, holding General Power of Attorney or Special Power of Attorney, within two weeks and thus allowing the authority to demolish remaining houses and hand over the land to NHAI. This 29 km long project, 18.9 in Gurugram and 10.1 km in Delhi,

520-647: The trains required a wide turn radius. This led to the first elevated railways in the late 19th century. The elevated rails, being grade-separated, prevented almost all pedestrian/vehicle accidents, and could allow track bends above existing structures. Their construction could still be disruptive, but was usually less so, as pier construction to support their elevated structures did not necessarily close an entire roadway or long stretches of roadway for an extended period. However, conversion from at grade railways to elevated (or below ground) did not always take place, and many lines continued to be at grade in urban areas well into

546-409: The tunnel and nearby cities. The legislature passed a bill to extend existing highway Route 1 east through Newark and Jersey City . Due to local opposition to having new highways disrupt local traffic patterns, the engineers elected to use a viaduct, which became the Pulaski Skyway for the eastern portions of the new route (until close to the entrance of the tunnel). It opened in 1933. Like

572-489: The world's first elevated, controlled access highway. After an interruption for World War II , several extensions were built from 1947 to 1951, under the leadership of urban planner Robert Moses , primarily connecting it to his other projects, such as the Henry Hudson Parkway and Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel . The Miller Highway influenced many other subsequent projects, such as Boston's Central Artery and

598-497: The world, particularly in the central urban areas where traffic volumes and urban densities are high such as cities in the Americas, East and Southeast Asia. Entire networks of elevated expressways exist in the central areas of cities such as Metro Manila , Guangzhou , Bangkok , Osaka , Shanghai , Tokyo , and Wuhan . Kherki Daula Kherki Daula is a village in Gurgaon on National Highway 48 (India) . Its Pincode

In 1924, New York City began looking for ways to relieve the problems of the combination of trucks, cars, trains, and pedestrians on 11th Avenue, which had been known as Death Avenue even before the advent of the car and truck. The mayor, the Manhattan borough president, the police commissioner, the Port Authority, the New York Central Railroad (owner of

650-553: Was planned to connect it to Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) at Kherki Daula on NH-48. Land acquisition started in 2007-08. The construction contract was given to JSR Construction Private Ltd and India Bulls Private Ltd in April 2011 and the completion date was set to be 31 March 2012. The Punjab and Haryana High Court disposed of the petitions in May 2015. In June 2016, the project was acquired by National Highways Authority of India and road

676-419: Was renamed National Highway 248-BB. By that time, 14 km stretch of the expressway with six lanes had been completed. The scope of the project was expanded and the proposed Central Peripheral Road (CPR) and 6.3 km long section of Urban Extension Road-II (UER II) were included as part of the expressway. But construction couldn't be started immediately as HUDA was not able to hand over land to NHAI due to
