National Highway network to expand rapidly: Gadkari
In a statement, Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari said the NH network will cover 2 lakh km within three years’ time. Gadkari said the centre is developing 22 greenfield access control expressways to reduce travel time. Speaking on the role of infrastructure development, he said highways help in the economic development of a region apart from cutting down on travel time and fuel costs. This can be achieved by providing seamless connectivity for the movement of people.
