New Expressway via Bandikui Cuts Delhi-Jaipur Travel Time: What to Know
In recent developments, a significant infrastructure project has been underway to enhance connectivity between Bandikui and the Jaipur Ring Road. This new 67-kilometer express highway aims to reduce the travel distance by 20 kilometers, thereby facilitating smoother and more efficient travel between the two regions. Previously, travelers had to exit at Dausa and navigate the slower NH-21 route, which passed through towns and villages. With the completion of this expressway, drivers can now enjoy a more direct and expedited journey.

The introduction of this expressway is set to significantly decrease travel time. Motorists can now expect a non-stop journey from Delhi to Jaipur within two-and-a-half hours, a notable improvement over the previous travel times. This advancement is part of a broader initiative to streamline road travel and enhance safety between Delhi and Jaipur.
Traffic Flow Improvements
Prior to the expressway’s completion, vehicles traveling from Delhi, Gurgaon, and Faridabad were required to exit the expressway at Dausa and switch to the NH-21, a route characterized by lower speed limits and frequent congestion due to its passage through various towns and villages. The new expressway eliminates this need for detours, allowing for a smoother and more direct route. Once fully operational, the journey from Delhi (DND Flyway) to Jaipur is expected to be seamless and efficient.
Ongoing Construction and Detours
While most sections of the highway are completed, a minor portion remains under construction. Specifically, a rail overbridge (ROB) on the Delhi-Ahmedabad railway line is still being built. An official from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) mentioned that the road is complete except for one side of the ROB, which is anticipated to be finished by the end of May. Until then, a temporary detour may be established to accommodate traffic flow.
