This 12\u202fkm stretch features <strong>five wildlife overpasses<\/strong>\u2014each approximately 500\u202fm long\u2014and a <strong>1.2\u202fkm underpass<\/strong>, the country\u2019s longest designed explicitly for wildlife crossings <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Integrating_Terrain_with_Infrastructure\"><\/span>Integrating Terrain with Infrastructure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To minimize ecological disruption, the expressway includes 5\u202fkm of specially sunken and elevated segments that conform to local topography. These design choices have been complemented by eight-metre-high noise barriers and six-foot-tall boundary walls, curbing vehicular intrusion and ensuring safe animal movements <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strategic_Placement_in_Protected_Area\"><\/span>Strategic Placement in Protected Area<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The corridor is strategically placed along one of India\u2019s most significant wildlife passageways, connecting Ranthambore National Park with surrounding sanctuaries like Sariska and Mukundara Hills. These regions form vital links in the Aravalli wildlife corridor, critical for large mammals such as tigers, deer, leopards, and bears <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sustainable_Features_and_Environmental_Measures\"><\/span>Sustainable Features and Environmental Measures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond wildlife corridors, the project employs eco-conscious landscaping: planting saplings, installing rainwater harvesting systems every 500\u202fm, and utilizing drip irrigation. These features reflect NHAI\u2019s commitment to <strong>environment-friendly highway development<\/strong>, balancing infrastructure needs with environmental stewardship <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Safe_Roads_Safer_Wildlife\"><\/span>Safe Roads, Safer Wildlife<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By facilitating wildlife movement and reducing collision risks, the corridor enhances safety for both animals and motorists.

Recognizing this, NHAI started integrating wildlife mitigation features in expressway designs. The Delhi\u2013Mumbai Expressway, conceived in 2019 and valued at around \u20b91,00,000 crore, journeyed from concept to rollout of these corridors by 2025 under environmental regulations  The corridor connects protected zones like Ranthambore, Sariska, and Mukundara Hills, part of the larger Aravalli landscape\u2014a traditional route for large mammal dispersal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Globally, India is drawing inspiration from countries like the Netherlands, where wildlife overpasses\u2014also known as &#8220;eco-ducts&#8221;\u2014have successfully reduced roadkill incidents and maintained ecological connectivity. This implementation exemplifies India\u2019s commitment to adopt and scale such global best practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Takeaways_from_Indias_Longest_Animal_Overpass_Corridor\"><\/span>Key Takeaways from India\u2019s Longest Animal Overpass Corridor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>S.No.<\/th><th>Key Takeaway<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1<\/td><td><strong>Length &amp; Scale<\/strong>: 12\u202fkm corridor with five 500\u202fm overpasses and a 1.2\u202fkm underpass.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2<\/td><td><strong>Safety Infrastructure<\/strong>: 8\u202fm noise barriers and 6\u202fft boundary walls for motorist and wildlife safety.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3<\/td><td><strong>Ecological Integration<\/strong>: 5\u202fkm of terrain-matching raised\/sunken roadway to minimize habitat disturbance.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4<\/td><td><strong>Biodiversity Corridor<\/strong>: Connects Ranthambore with Sariska and Mukundara Hills via the Aravalli corridor.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5<\/td><td><strong>Green Highway Features<\/strong>: Saplings, rainwater harvesting every 500\u202fm, and drip irrigation reflect sustainable design.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Animal Overpass Corridor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span><strong>FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q1_What_is_the_purpose_of_the_animal_overpass_corridor_on_the_Delhi%E2%80%93Mumbai_Expressway\"><\/span>Q1.
