Open Roads Return: 6 Super Expressways In West & North-west India

Travelling around the wonderland that is India is a thrilling experience, especially when fast-moving super expressways are right here to ensure some wonderful on-the-road vacations. Of course there are business travellers who are in a hurry to reach their destinations and super fast expressways minus traffic snarls suit them down to the ground. But then, you can be one of those away on a leisure trip and looking forward to a fast and panoramic drive on your way to a new city. Either way, the expressways of India won’t disappoint you. As we mentioned before, expressways are controlled-access highways like the freeways or motorways or autobahnen in the US and Europe, essentially designed for high-speed traffic. As of now, most of the expressways in India are 6-8 lane toll roads and cover a total distance of nearly 1,208.19 km.

Last month, we brought you 8 super expressways in North India that fulfil your need for speed. And this time, we move to the West and the North-west of the country where some more picturesque drives await us. However, the sea links and the coastal expressways will come up in our next article. So grab a coffee, get a map and read on. By the time you are through, you could be checking the map and picking out the spots where you want to go first. As the Turkish playwright Mehmet Murat ildan has said: Some roads are so beautiful that you know not whether you travel on the road or the road travels in you!
