Toll-Free Travel Begins: Big news for travelers from New Delhi to Dehradun! The initial segment of the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway, spanning from Akshardham to the Loni Border, will not have any toll charges. This toll-free stretch covers approximately 18 kilometers, allowing commuters to enjoy a cost-free journey over this section.
🛣️ Expressway Details
Stretch Overview: The Delhi-Dehradun Expressway has been designed to facilitate smoother and quicker travel between these two major cities. While the initial part is toll-free, travelers will need to pay toll charges beyond the Loni Border based on the distance traveled.
💰 Toll Rates Beyond Loni Border
Anticipated Toll Charges: The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has set specific rules for toll collection that will apply beyond the toll-free stretch. It is expected that the rates could be higher than average, especially from Delhi to Bagpat (Khekra) where the expressway is 90% elevated, increasing construction costs.
📊 Comparative Toll Rates
Standard Toll Charges: Generally, NHAI charges about ₹2.75 per kilometer. However, for the elevated sections of the expressway, the rates might be higher due to the increased expenses involved in maintaining such infrastructure.
🚧 Next Steps
Upcoming Decisions: NHAI officials have mentioned that decisions regarding the specific toll rates will be made soon. This will provide clarity for regular commuters on budgeting their travel expenses.
