Amritsar-Jamnagar Greenfield corridor in progress: Gadkari

Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari said the project for 6 lane access-controlled Greenfield Highway from Rajasthan/Gujarat Border to Santalpur section of NH-754A is in progress. He said this stretch is part of the Amritsar-Jamnagar Economic Corridor in Gujarat under Bharatmala Pariyojana Phase-1 and is being built at ` 2,030 crore. Once the project is completed, the travel time will reduce by two hours and travel distance by 60 km. He said reducing pollution level, median and avenue plantation throughout the stretch would enrich the ecosystem and boost SDGs. It would facilitate easy movement of defence forces/armed forces/military vehicles, as it is closer to the Indo-Pak Border, the Unionminister added.
