The much-anticipated Bandikui-Jaipur Expressway has been completed, approximately eight months behind schedule. The 67-km expressway is designed to facilitate travel between Bandikui and Jaipur in just 30 minutes. The project, which cost around ₹1,368 crore, is a four-lane access-controlled highway, permitting speeds of up to 120 kmph.
The route spans across two districts, with 32.7 km in Dausa and 34.1 km in Jaipur. Five toll plazas have been constructed, including a virtual plaza at Shyamsinghpura. Motorists will be charged approximately ₹150 for a one-way trip. Originally slated for completion by November 2024, the project faced delays but now the construction work is complete, and the required road safety audit has also been done. The inauguration date is pending approval from the Union Road Transport Ministry.
It is anticipated that the expressway will be open to the public by June 2025. Its opening will significantly reduce travel time between Bandikui and Jaipur while improving connectivity to Delhi-NCR. This new corridor will begin at Bagrana on the Jaipur-Agra Road, enabling travelers heading towards Delhi to reach their destination within two and a half to three hours.
