4-laning of Goa/Karnataka border road near completion: Gadkari

The project for four-laning of the Goa/Karnataka border to Kundapur section of National Highway (NH)-17 in Karnataka is near completion. In a series of tweets, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari informed that presently around 173 km (92.42%) of the total work is completed, and while traffic is open on the project, the rest of the project will be completed by December 2022.

The Minister said the government is actively working towards building world class infrastructure across every corner of the country and leading New India towards an era of 'Prosperity Through Connectivity'.

Gadkari said spanning a length of around 187 km, this stretch has the Arabian Sea coast on one side and the Western Ghats on the other. Magnificent due to its scenic view, this project is an important coastal highway link between western and southern India. The minister said the strategic highway passes through a variety of terrains, with almost 50% of the length passing through rolling terrain (45 km) and mountainous terrain (24 km).

Aimed at providing a world class road infrastructure experience to travellers, the alignment connects major cities & towns along the way including Panvel, Chiplun, Ratnagiri, Panaji, Margao, Karwar, Udupi, Surathkal, Mangalore, Kozhikode, Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, and Kanyakumari.
