Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has approved a budget of Rs.3.81 billion for the development of a high-speed corridor connecting Vadodara with Ekta Nagar, home to the world's tallest statue of Iron Man Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s ‘Statue of Unity’. This initiative aims to enhance the ease of travel for tourists, reduce travel time and fuel consumption and boost tourism across the region. The project includes the construction of a six-lane road from the Vadodara National Highway 48 junction to Wuda Hadd, along with service roads on both sides. The remaining 2.5 km stretch from Wuda Hadd to Dabhoi will also be upgraded to a standard four-lane route as part of Phase-1 of the High-Speed Corridor. The development will also feature two underpasses and two elevated corridors to ensure smooth traffic flow. Specifically, a six-lane vehicle underpass will be built at Ratanpur Chowk and Thuwavi Junction, while a four-lane elevated corridor will be constructed over Kellanpur village and Sinor Chowk. The region, which attracts visitors worldwide, is set to become even more accessible.
