​ Delhi, your weekends sorted! Reach Jaipur in an hour and half

If all goes well, Delhi might soon be connected to Jaipur through a super expressway. This will reduce the travel time drastically. Highways minister Nitin Gadkari announced this at Dausa in Rajasthan.

The distance between Delhi and Jaipur is 260 km. The proposed super expressway, between the outskirts of Gurgaon and Jaipur, will cover 200 km. It will be impossible to cover this distance in 90 minutes sticking to the notified speed limit, which is 100 kmph for expressways in India (for highways it's 90). Gadkari said the government will notify different speed limits for such super expressways, according to a news report by The Times of India.

Presently it takes almost 6 hours to reach Jaipur. While Haryana government has cleared lands, Gadkari urged Vasundhara Raje to sort out lands in Rajasthan.

G adkari told TOI in Delhi that the present speed limit was fixed at 100 kmph as the country has very few expressways. "We will revise the maximum speed limit. The proposed expressway will take off from the outskirts of Gurgaon and join Jaipur Ring Road (on the outer periphery of the city). We expect this total stretch to be around 200 km. Since it will be access controlled, one can maintain high speed all along the expressway," he said.
