[[Delhi–Gurgaon Expressway]] is a 28 km long access-controlled toll expressway connecting [[Delhi]], the national capital of India, and [[Gurgaon]] on [[National Highway 48 |NH48]]. The highway runs from [[Delhi]] to [[Mumbai]] wherein the [[Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway]] runs till outskirts of [[Gurgaon]]. The expressway is a part of [[Golden Quadrilateral]] project, which itself is a part of ambitious National Highway Development Project and emphasizes improving road connectivity between four metropolitan cities of India, namely [[Delhi]], [[Mumbai]], [[Chennai]] and [[Kolkata]] by developing 4–6 lane highways between them.

The much-delayed Rs.10 billion, 27.7 km expressway opened 23 January 2008. It has helped reduce the travel time for hundreds of thousands of commuters and international air passengers. Vehicle users have to pay a toll for using the expressway, which is collected at three points, near the Indira Gandhi International Airport, the Delhi-Gurgaon Border and the 42nd milestone. Since it began operation, it has also achieved notoriety for a large number of accidents involving pedestrians. There are only two over-bridges along the entire stretch to cater to the communities living on either side of heavily populated areas through which the expressway runs. The toll plaza at the Delhi-Gurgaon border has also proved inadequate to handle the increasing traffic, leading to traffic jams during peak hours. Though the plaza is tag enabled, only 40 percent of the traffic that passes through avails of this facility.<ref>[http://www.indianexpress.com/news/who-will-build-overbridges-on-expressway/412740/ Who will build overbridges on expressway? -Indian Express]</ref>
