In a bid to bolster the connectivity in the Northeast region, the ruling establishment at the Centre has put spotlight on highway projects. The government has undertaken the development of a 25-km two-lane highway in Nagaland to boost the road connectivity to Northeast states, says Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways.<\/p>\n
Gadkari said, \u201cWe are currently building a 25-km two-lane highway which will be featured with a hard shoulder. The stretch spans from Chakabama to Zunheboto as part of package-3,\u201d reported PTI. <\/p>\n
Boosting connectivity in Northeast region <\/p>\n
The highway project aims at boosting connectivity with neighbouring states in the Northeast region that will roll out efficient, sustainable and economical transportation options for all commuters. <\/p>\n
The minister said that the work is done under the Bharatmala Pariyojna. The government is all set for four-laning of the Sinnar-Shirdi section of NH-160, including the construction of the Sinnar bypass, in Maharashtra, he added. <\/p>\n
Dedicated route for pilgrimage to Sai Baba <\/p>\n
\u201cThe transformative road project is billed to be socially significant, as it will offer a dedicated route for Sai Baba devotees making their pilgrimage to Shirdi easier,\u201d said Gadkari, reported PTI. <\/p>\n
According to the minister, the primary objective of this move is to reduce travel time substantially between Shirdi and Nashik\/Trimbakeshwar, two major religious towns in Maharashtra.<\/p>\n
He stated that the project entails various significant techniques to reduce the carbon footprint and minimise traffic congestion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
