5 Apr
Summary
- An elevated corridor approved for Udaipur, Rajasthan, costing ₹363.89 crore.
- The project on NH48 aims to reduce traffic congestion and improve road safety.
- It will segregate local and through traffic, bypassing Kherwara town.
A significant infrastructure development is set to transform the transportation landscape in Rajasthan's Udaipur district. The Union government has greenlit the construction of an elevated corridor with an investment of ₹363.89 crore. This project is strategically located on National Highway 48 (NH48) in Kherwara town, a crucial segment that links Rajasthan with Gujarat.
The elevated corridor aims to tackle the persistent issue of traffic congestion that plagues this busy stretch. By segregating local commuters from vehicles passing through, the structure will allow through traffic to bypass Kherwara town entirely. This bypass is expected to dramatically reduce travel times and alleviate pressure on the existing road network.
Furthermore, the project is poised to significantly bolster road safety. It directly addresses several identified accident-prone areas, often referred to as 'black spots,' along the NH48 stretch. This initiative fulfills a decades-old demand from the local populace for enhanced safety and efficient traffic management on this vital highway.
