17 Sep 2021 CW Team

Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari will inaugurate and lay the foundation stones of 35 major road projects totalling 1,530 km in Madhya Pradesh.

These infrastructure projects will need an investment of about Rs 11,311 crore. Indore and neighbouring areas have Rs 3,500 crore worth of these projects.

The event is being planned together by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) and Madhya Pradesh PWD.

Among the significant projects is the four-lane road widening of Gwalior-Jhansi block, Bhopal-Biaora block (Mubarakpur-Biaora), Jhansi-Khajuraho block, Mohgan-Khawasa block, Bamidha-Satna block two-lane and development of Shujalpur-Ashta block two-lane road with paved shoulder.

The Minister will inaugurate the development of seven road projects, some 452 km long and fetching Rs 579 crore. The Obaidullaganj-Nagpur block (NH-69) is prominent among them, having been constructed with plastic waste as a pilot project.

He will lay the foundation stones of 21 road projects, covering the four-lane road widening of Dewas-Ujjain block, Balwara-Dhanganv along with the development of a bridge on Narmada river, Dhangaon-Borgaon block, Rewa-Bela block, Bamidha-Khajrao, Sagar-Mohari block, along with four-lane road widening of the remaining part of Nauradehi Sanctuary, Machaliya Ghat, Madhav National Park and construction of two-lane with a paved shoulder on Satna-Maihar block and Ujjain-Jhalawar block.

The foundation stone will also be laid for a two km long flyover from Bhopal Square to Indira Gandhi Square and the 104 km-long AtarGhat-Sabalgarh Tantra- Dhovani (Govardhan)-Mohana Road construction along with the advancement of entire 244 km-long eight road projects fetching Rs 145 crore.

He will ink a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the state government to form a multi-modal logistics centre in Indore’s Betma tehsil. In a move to expand the project, 150 acres of land has been made available and later, a similar amount of land will be obtained to satisfy future demands while the planned multi-mode logistics hub will also be connected with rail transport by laying a railway line from the nearby station.

The Minister will review the under-construction eight-lane Delhi-Vadodara-Mumbai Expressway in Ratlam.

The project of Rs 8,437 crore, which will pass via Mandsaur (over 102km), Ratlam (90km) and Jhabua (52km), including a total distance of approximately 245 km in Madhya Pradesh, is to be completed in November 2022.
