New Delhi. An 8-lane green expressway is being constructed to go from Delhi to Dehradun via Saharanpur. Vehicles will be able to run at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour on this expressway. Also, it will reduce the distance from Dehradun to Delhi by about 40 kms. It is claimed that after the construction of the expressway, Dehradun can be reached from Delhi in just 2.5 hours. Now it takes 7 hours to complete this journey. After Dehradun, roads and tunnels are also being constructed to reach Gangotri (located in Uttarkashi district).

With their help, reaching from Dehradun to Gangotri can also be completed in half the time as compared to now. At present, it takes about 15 hours to reach Gangotri from Delhi. Although, this distance is only 525 kilometers, but due to the steep slopes and climbing routes, a lot of time is spent in traveling on this route.
