Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Monday laid the foundation stones for ten National Highways (NH) projects worth more than Rs 8,000 crore in Uttar Pradesh.
These include five NH projects worth Rs 2,200 crore in the Pratapgarh region and five NH projects worth Rs 6,215 crore in the Deoria Region of Uttar Pradesh.
With the widening of the 43 km of NH-330 from Pratapgarh to Sultanpur being constructed at Rs 1,290 crore, the time taken to travel from Prayagraj to Pratapgarh via Ayodhya will be reduced, Gadkari said. The construction of a 14-km bypass in Pratapgarh at Rs 309 crore will also begin soon, he added.
