Ahmedabad: 6-Lane ISKCON-Sanand Elevated Corridor on SG Highway Opens to Public

Ahmedabad: The 4.03-km-long ISKCON-Sanand elevated corridor on the Sarkhej-Gandhinagar Highway (SG Highway) in Ahmedabad was opened to the public following its inauguration by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, providing motorists with a smoother and faster commute across some of the city’s busiest traffic junctions.

Constructed at an estimated cost of ₹464 crore by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, the six-lane elevated corridor stretches from ISKCON Junction to the Sanand flyover and is expected to significantly ease traffic congestion, reduce travel time and fuel consumption, and improve road safety along the busy highway.

The corridor passes over major traffic junctions, including Karnavati Club, Prahladnagar and YMCA, allowing vehicles travelling between Sarkhej and Gandhinagar to bypass these congestion-prone intersections. The new infrastructure is expected to facilitate uninterrupted traffic movement and reduce vehicle operating costs.

The elevated corridor is 26.8 metres wide and comprises a 2,940-metre-long viaduct and 1,090 metres of approach roads. Special noise barriers spanning 5,880 metres have been installed to minimise noise pollution caused by vehicles travelling over the flyover.

The project also incorporates 297 streetlights, an advanced traffic management system, overhead and cantilever gantries, road safety signage, road studs and anti-glare measures. Whitetopping service roads, ranging from 7 to 14 metres in width, have also been developed alongside the corridor. DeshGujarat
