Expressways are high-speed, divided highways with limited entry and exit points designed for traffic moving between cities or through urban areas. They are separated from local traffic and have distinct features--such as gentle curves, six or eight lanes, access ramps, and lane markings to help reduce congestion. There are three types of expressways in India: National Expressways, State Expressways, and Bypass Expressways.
Expressways, the top-tier roads in India, measured 5,579 km in length as of July 2023, while an additional 8,366 km were under construction. The expressway network expanded by 3,577 km, growing from 2,002 km to 5,579 km over the past four years.
