Jaipur to Delhi in just 3 hours
On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will open the first section of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway in Dausa. The country’s largest motorway will be this one. From Dausa’s Bhandarej to Sohna, the motorway is entirely finished.
The second and third phases will begin this year after the first phase. Only from Sohna to Rajasthan has work been completed most quickly.
The motorway was built with the aid of German technology. Although the posted speed limit is 120 km/h, vehicles can travel here at speeds of more than 150 km/hr.
From Delhi to Mumbai in Rajasthan, the roadway will be 373 kilometres long. This distance will connect 7 districts in Rajasthan. Alwar, Bharatpur, Dausa, Sawaimadhopur, Tonk, Bundi, and Kota districts will be connected once you leave Delhi. Each district’s entry and exit points to the motorway will only have one each. You will only be able to enter and exit the roadway from here.
Currently, the travel time from Jaipur to Delhi is between six and seven hours. It is stated that this trip from the motorway will take only three hours. In order to verify this claim, we took a trip from Jaipur to Delhi. At 11 am, we left Narayan Singh Circle in Jaipur, and at 4 pm, we arrived at the expressway’s beginning point in Delhi. Even though the trip only took three hours, it actually required two extra hours because the expressway’s features had to be learned and put to the test along the way.
45 minutes to get to the Dausa entry point.
Narayan Singh Circle in preparation for the trip to Delhi. At 11 am, we departed from this location. In order to capture an aerial view of the motorway, we also brought a drone. There are two routes that lead from Narayan Circle to Delhi. an antiquated roadway connecting Jaipur and Delhi, the trip taking 6-7 hours.
The second Delhi–Mumbai Expressway First, one must travel to Dausa from Jaipur. We travelled 45 minutes to get to the Jaipur to Dausa highway entrance. because Kanota and Transportnagar both have traffic problems.
Speed Breakers.
Beginning on February 12, cars will be allowed to enter the motorway. At the moment, cement blocks have been positioned at the toll gate to obstruct the route. After obtaining NHAI approval, we jumped on the highway at the toll and headed in the direction of Jaipur. Every district along the motorway has been maintained with a single point of entry and exit. Only the toll will be charged while leaving this area. There won’t be any barriers along the way on the highway. No speed limit signs will be present, and the motorway has been raised so high that stray animals won’t enter. We set out on a highway in the direction of Delhi from Dausa.
A trauma centre:
The rest area has been converted into a trauma centre. where doctors will be on duty for twenty-four hours. If a person’s condition worsens while travelling, he can be taken to the trauma centre. Here, separate wards have been created for men and women. Here, there are also ICU and operating rooms. The NHAI has also dispatched an ambulance where patients can also be operated on. Patients can be sent by ambulance right away to the trauma centre if an accident occurs on the roadway.
Point of Charging for Electric Vehicles:
In India, the trend towards electric vehicles has emerged quickly. The project has also taken care of this. In these rest places, specific charging stations have been created, and they are open 24/7. A separate tender has been issued for the charging station.
Petrol Pump:
On both sides of the rest area, there are gas pumps. You can only turn around at the interchange if you entered the motorway from Delhi. The NHAI will issue separate tenders for petrol pumps in order to address the issue of gasoline and diesel.
Restaurant:
Both sides of the rest area will have their own restaurants open. Here, you can find food ranging from Chinese to South Indian. Both domestic and foreign visitors can savour a variety of delectable foods. Children can play in a fun park that will also be present.
Country Haat:
Here, a country hot has also been produced. where handmade goods will be sold. Small-scale artisanal goods will be purchased and delivered here. Additionally, small-scale industries will benefit from this. ATMs will also be deployed in order to solve the cash shortage issue.
Service Center:
The most important point is that separate service stations have been created here in case your automobile breaks down or is damaged in an accident.
Technology: Even Fighter jets will be able to take off from a road.
On the road, planes and fighter jets can also land. There are 8 locations between Delhi and Dausa and 53 locations throughout the entire roadway where emergency landings can be made. To create the road, a 4-layer layer was created. The road gets tremendously strong as a result.
German road construction methods have utilised fibrous coarse grains. Very tiny particles of the matrix or groundmass material are combined in this. The addition of big grains and crystals allows the road to withstand high temperatures. The road will not be impacted by vehicles being loaded.
Innovation, including the first Greenfield Expressway and access to clean air.
On the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, there will also be a sense of the Greenfield Expressway. To lessen pollution, more than 10 lakh seedlings are being planted here. The distance between the two roads has been maintained at roughly 10 to 15 feet. At the exchange places, large circles have been formed. Here, rare plants like neem, snake, erica, gerbera, and xylene are being planted. The environment will be kept clean by these plants. They see carbon dioxide and toxic gases together.
Security: Throughout the trip, CCTV is installed every 500 metres.
The entire motorway was covered in security. Every 500 metres in this area has a CCTV system installed. These cameras will have the entire recording after travelling on the motorway. In what location did you board the express and exit it? The whole facts would be known in advance in cases of incidents like kidnapping or gangster escape.
Rules: An online challenge is issued if the speed exceeds 120.
On any roadway up to this point, drivers have been able to travel at any speed, but not on this motorway. Speedometers have been fitted here and there. If the vehicle is driven at a speed more than 120, the online challan will be forfeited. The mobile number listed in the car records will receive the message. It will be entirely cutting-edge. Additionally, the fee will be collected on the actual highway.
Safety: Stray animals won’t cause any trouble.
There will be no dangers on the motorway. In India, there isn’t a highway where stray animals don’t cause accidents. Stray animals won’t be allowed to enter the motorway, according to NHAI. Huge railings have been put in place on both sides of the road for this purpose. In addition, animals cannot climb the motorway because it is higher than a regular highway.

Income: More than 15,000 crores in toll revenue would be received.
After the motorway opens, the government will get more than 15000 crores of rupees in toll revenue year. Here, the toll is calculated per kilometre. However, there is a significant price disparity between this motorway and others. The rates for cars and light vehicles have been set at 0.65 paise, for commercial and minibuses at 1.05, for buses or trucks at 2.20, for heavy machinery at 3.45, and for heavy vehicles at 4.20.
The motorway has a total of 9 interchanges, including those at Hilalpur, Noont, Khalilpur Palwal, Kajijar Noont, Ghat Shamshabad, Alwar Sheetal, Pinan and Bhandarej, Dungarpur, and Bad Ka Pada.

The Lalsot-Kothun highway will also be connected at Dungarpur along with this. will have a connection at Badka Pada between Lalsot and Kaithun.
Construction of tanks to conserve rainwater
To collect rainwater on the highway, tanks are being built. Only the water from the highway will enter these tanks when it rains. These tanks will have a 700-litre maximum capacity. Water for the plants along the motorway will be supplied by these tanks. The plants are receiving water through drip systems that have been built. Up till each plant, little water pipes have been built.
This will prevent water from flowing in vain. Water will be used to irrigate plants on time. Along the highway’s both sides, tanks are being constructed. Only in the Dausa district have 130 tanks been produced. The entire highway will be covered with more than 2000 tanks. There will be a tank constructed every 500 metres.
