Vadoara-Bharuch highway to become 6 lane by July this year
Vadodara, DeshGujarat, 2 February, 2009
The Vadodara-Bharuch highway project which involves conversion of four-lane highway into six-lane one will be completed by July 2009 according to L&T officials.
This 83.3 km highway between Vadodara and Bharuch is important part of the Golden Quadrilateral and is a busy link connecting Mumbai and Delhi.
Work on this Rs800 crore Build-Operate-Transfer(BOT) project started in January 2007. According to L&T officials, the project which has to be completed by July 2009 is on schedule. To ensure completion of this project on time, more than 2500 workers are working round the clock.
Once commissioned this six-lane highway will have 11 flyovers, two new railway over bridges, two rest areas, vehicular underpass, passenger underpasses, service roads and a modern highway traffic management system.
It should be noted that recently when Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi visited Ankleshwar, he had said in a public meeting that “People are facing serious problem for past two years due to delay in widening of national highway between Vadodara and Mumbai. All such questions would be answered in next Parliament elections.”
