Six lane access controlled Greenfield Highway from Rajasthan/Gujarat Border to Santalpur section of NH-754A being built at cost of Rs 2,030 Crore
In a series of
tweets Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari informed
that the project for 6 lane access controlled Greenfield Highway from
Rajasthan/Gujarat Border to Santalpur section of NH-754A is in full progress.
The Minister said this stretch is the part of
Amritsar-Jamnagar Economic Corridor in Gujarat under Bharatmala Pariyojana
Phase-1 and is being built at a project cost of Rs 2,030 Crore. Once the
project is completed, the travel time within this section will reduce by 2
hours and travel distance by 60 Km.
Gadkari said reducing pollution level, median & avenue
plantation throughout the stretch would enrich the ecosystem and boost SDGs.
The stretch would facilitate easy movement of Border forces/Armed
forces/Military vehicles etc. as it is closer to Indo-Pak Border, he added.
Making New India the Hub
of World Class Infrastructure under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra
Modi, Gadkari said government is
actively committed towards Transforming India through
excellent connectivity & world class infrastructure.
