Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari has announced Rs.5,000 crore worth of 25 new bypasses in Rajasthan and made a provision of Rs.200 crore for ROB on state highways under Setubandhan Yojana.
Simultaneously, Rs.900 crore was sanctioned from the Central Road and Infrastructure Fund and Rs.700 crore from Setubandhan Yojana for Rajasthan.
These projects will save fuel, reduce accidents, boost industrial, agricultural, transport and tourism sectors, he said while inaugurating and laying foundation stone of nine National Highways of 243-km worth Rs.1,357 crore in the state.
Speaking on the occasion on 27 June 2022, he said the widening of Ninawa section from Sanchore on NH-168A in the state will increase the business of granite industries of Chalaur district and will make it easier for the farmers to reach Suratgarh Mandi.
The 2-lane Sriganganagar to Raisinghnagar on NH-911 and the Sriganganagar reinforcement from Suratgarh on NH-62 will make it easier to reach the international border and the military station on both sides of the road, which will enhance India’s strategic strength.
Gadkari said the 4-lane flyover in Suratgarh city will ensure safe and congestion-free traffic.
The construction of ROB will clear jam at level crossing while other projects will facilitate connectivity between tourist destinations of Gujarat and Rajasthan. fiinews.com
