The DND–Faridabad–KMP Expressway, formally known as NH-148NA is a 59 km long, 6-lane wide access-controlled expressway in Delhi NCR, India.[2] It connects the junction of DND Flyway and Ring Road at Maharani Bagh in Delhi with KMP Expressway at Khalilpur, Nuh district (near Sohna) in Haryana. The NH-148NA is a spur (branch) of Delhi–Mumbai Expressway project. This expressway will have an additional 31 km long spur from Sector-65, Faridabad bypass to Jewar Airport.[3]

The DND/ Maharani Bagh interchange and Kalindi Kunj metro are the 2 entry points in the state of Delhi. In Haryana, it passes entirely through existing Faridabad bypass road. The HSVP has transferred the Faridabad bypass to NHAI for the construction of NH–148NA highway. The construction work was started in May 2021 and 20 km stretch from KMP interchange to NH-2 interchange at Kail Gaon (Ballabhgarh) has been opened on 12 February 2023.

The 26km part from Sector 65 to Sohna in Faridabad has been opened for traffic in 2023.[4] The 24 km long stretch from Jaitpur/ Mithapur in Delhi to Sector-65 in Faridabad has been opened to public on 12 November 2024.[5] The remaining 9 km part from Mithapur to DND would be ready by May 2025.

2. They can also use KMP Expressway and turn east for Palwal and turn west for Manesar.

[edit]

The construction work of the 'DND–Faridabad–KMP' section was awarded by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to Dineshchandra R. Agrawal Infracon Private Limited (DRA Infracon) in August 2020.[9] This project will reduce congestion on Ashram to Ballabhgarh route (via Badarpur). In Haryana it will have multiple Flyovers and a 3-lane service road on either side of Faridabad bypass road.

7 km out of 9 km route of Package-1 in Delhi state will be elevated with two-level crossings at 4 locations of the Delhi Metro rail line (near Okhla Vihar and Kalindi Kunj metro station), making it the 1st expressway in India to cross above elevated metro rail line.
