Mumbai-Goa highway in a year’s time: Nitin Gadkari
The much-awaited work on the Mumbai-Goa highway – which passes through the coastal Konkan belt – would be completed in a year’s time.
The highway would boost development in the region, said Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari.
The work on Mumbai-Goa highway is under way in eleven phases.
Gadkari said the initial work was delayed due to land acquisition and obtaining permissions from Railways and Forest Department. “Mumbai-Goa is the heartbeat of this region. So we will definitely complete this work within a year. This highway now exists not only Mumbai-Goa, but it has been extended to Mangalore,” Gadkari said.
