Mussoorie is set to become significantly more accessible from Delhi  as an upcoming elevated road project on the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway will allow vehicles to reach Mussoorie directly. 

This project will also bring relief from traffic congestion for the residents of Dehradun city.
Banshidhar Tiwari, Vice-Chairman of the Mussoorie Dehradun Development Authority (MDDA), said, "Land acquisition will be carried out in 26 localities to build the 26 km long elevated road in Dehradun. Land will be acquired by demolishing 2,614 houses built along the banks of the Rispana and Bindal rivers."

Sources said, "Once the project becomes operational, tourists traveling from Delhi to Mussoorie will be able to reach their destination in just four hours by their own vehicle."

The elevated road, which will cost Rs 6,100 crore, involves land acquisition for which property owners will receive compensation. 

According to government sources, no proposal for providing land-for-land compensation to property owners in lieu of acquired land has been prepared at the state government level so far.
