This article is about expressways. For national highways in India, see National highways in India.

A section of Delhi–Noida Direct Flyway

Expressways are the highest class of roads in India. In India, expressways are controlled-access highways where entrance and exit is controlled by the use of ramps that are incorporated into the design of the expressway, whereas National Highways are at-grade roads. Some roads are not access controlled, but still are named as expressways, such as the Biju Expressway.

The central government is the major investor in creating expressways. Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra are the only states which are investing in expressway building by having dedicated expressway corporations.[1]

National Expressways Authority of India (NEAI) operating under the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways will be in-charge of the construction and maintenance of expressways.[2] The National Highways Development Project by Government of India aims to expand the expressway network and plans to add an additional 18,637 km (11,580 mi) of expressways by 2022 apart from existing national highways.[3]

Bharatmala, a centrally-sponsored and funded road and highways project of the Government of India[4] with a target of constructing 83,677 km (51,994 mi)[5] of new highways, has been started in 2018. Phase I of the Bharatmala project involves the construction of 34,800 km of highways (including the remaining projects under NHDP) at an estimated cost of ₹5.35 lakh crore (US$64 billion) by 2021-22.[6]

Characteristics

Currently, approximately 1,642.5 km of expressways are operational in India.

All the expressways are six or more-lane controlled-access highways where entrance and exit is controlled by the use of slip roads.

India has one of the lowest densities of expressways in the world.[7]
