As of December 2024, the total length of expressways in India was 6,059 km (3,765 mi), with 11,127.69 km (6,914.43 mi) under construction. In expressways there is a central reservation or median that separates the flow travelling in opposite directions.
This is a list of countries (or regions) by total road network size, both paved and unpaved.Also included is additional data on road network density and the length of each country or region's controlled-access highway network (also known as a motorway, expressway, freeway, etc.), designed for high vehicular traffic.

Mumbai–Pune Expressway [1] Maharashtra: Mumbai: Pune: 94.5 km 58.7 mi 6 April 2002 India's first 6-lane wide expressway. Mumbai Trans Harbour Link: Maharashtra: Sewri, South Mumbai
Initially, the expressway is 8-lane wide with the greenfield-alignment route in backward areas, which will reduce the current 24 hours travel time to 12 hours. [17] [18] Land for an additional four lanes is reserved in the middle of the road for future expansion, along with the space for utilities, plantation and public transport on both sides.
State Expressway: Built by NHAI, these expressways run through entirely in the state (West Bengal) and connects areas within the state. These are declared as expressways by Government of India . Bypass Expressway : Built by NHAI , these expressways runs through the outskirts or metropolitan area of a city to bypass the city core.
In 2016, the government vowed to double the highway length from 101,011 to 200,000 km. [5] The majority of existing highways are now four-lane roads (two lanes in each direction), though much of this is being expanded to six or more lanes. Some sections of the network are toll roads. Only a few highways are built with concrete.
It would cut travel time between Lucknow and Agra from 6 hours to 3:30 hours. The expressway is 6-lane wide (expandable to 8-lane in future) although the structures (major, minor bridges and underpasses) on the expressway are already being constructed as 8-laned to be in tune with the expanded width of the expressway in future. [10]
Connectivity: The expressway will create a direct connection between North and South India, resulting in faster, safer and better commute, by avoiding the existing congested routes via Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and Mumbai, as well as reducing travel time and distance considerably, from around 35 hours to around 16 hours, and from approx. 1,570 ...
