Road bypass, tunnel project in MP’s ‘white tiger’ region to open in Nov
An over 15-km long road bypass and tunnel project connecting two major districts, known as the first ‘white tiger habitats’ in Madhya Pradesh’s Vindhya region are expected to be inaugurated early next month, an official said.
The two projects between Rewa and Sidhi districts on the eastern flank of the state, as per the official, will reduce the existing about 80 km distance between them by around 7 km and help in protecting wildlife from vehicular traffic.
Out of the total 15.35 km long ‘Churhat bypass’ road project, the ‘twin tube’ six-lane tunnels run for about 2.9 km. The project was envisaged at a cost of about Rs 1,000 crore.
