Delhi-Dehradun Expressway will have Asia’s largest wildlife highway corridor
Very soon, the much-awaited Delhi-Dehradun Expressway will be operational. The corridor, after its opening, will be the longest elevated corridor in Asia measuring 12 km. The highway will reduce the travel time between the two cities from 6 hours to 2.5 hours only. But there’s another reason to rejoice. The expressway, once operational, will be home to the largest wildlife highway corridor in Asia.
The wildlife corridor will be the last 20 km stretch and will go through the eco-sensitive zone of Rajaji National Park. As of now, this corridor work is under process, and will also include a 340-m Daat Kali (a famous temple in Dehradun) tunnel. The corridor is being constructed to protect surrounding wildlife.
