The ambitious 1,224 km long Amritsar-Jamnagar Expressway project, which would connect the busy ports of Gujarat with industrial and agriculture centres from Punjab, is slated for completion by September 2023.
Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday said the 277 km long Bikaner to Jodhpur section of the corridor is targeted to be completed and opened to the public by 2022 end. Passing through Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Gujarat, this greenfield corridor would decrease the distance between Amritsar and Jamnagar from 1,430 km to 1,256 km and cut the travel time by half from 26 hours to about 13 hours and is considered to be another major expressway similar to the Delhi Mumbai Expressway corridor.
