Rs 20 Million Road Revamp Linking Andada To National Highway 48 Begins

The resurfacing of the road linking Andada village in Ankleshwar to National Highway 48 has begun, with the foundation stone laid by the local member of the legislative assembly. The project is estimated to cost Rs 20 million (Rs 20 mn) and was announced as part of a wider district package. Local leaders and a large number of villagers attended the inauguration and the ceremony underscored the priority given to rural connectivity.

The scheme calls for the construction of a five point five metre wide reinforced cement concrete (RCC) road to replace the existing surface and improve year round access. Contractors will also build a bund and a protective wall along the roadside to ensure efficient drainage of rainwater and to reduce flood related damage. Execution will follow standard engineering practices and local authorities have scheduled phased work to minimise disruption.

The road is funded from a Rs 3 billion (Rs 3 bn) development package allocated by the state government for Bharuch district, of which Rs 20 mn has been earmarked for this corridor. The allocation covers surfacing and ancillary measures aimed at improving durability and safety for motorised and non motorised traffic. Officials said the upgrade will reduce travel time and improve access to services for residents.

Once complete, the link will provide direct connectivity from Andada to National Highway 48 and is intended to support local commerce and daily commuting. Project documents note benefits for farmers, traders and school transport and improvements in emergency access. District authorities will publish progress reports as work advances.

Local contractors will coordinate with the district public works department and traffic management teams to maintain safe passage during construction. Employment opportunities for local workers will be generated during the peak phases of activity, offering short term labour engagement. Community representatives will monitor the implementation and report on milestones to district officials.
