The Delhi-Dehradun Expressway features multiple animal underpasses on the Dehradun side, a 12-km elevated wildlife corridor via Rajaji National Park/Shivalik forest, more than 400 water-recharge points and access-controlled lanes with a speed limit of 100 km/h.
A 32-km stretch from Akshardham Temple in Delhi has been opened for the general public from December 1, 2025, to the Eastern Peripheral Expressway (EPE) junction near Baghpat (Khekra). Vehicles can use this portion with no toll charges for about a month on a trial basis.
