New Delhi, May 4 (BNP): Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari reviewed a range of ongoing and proposed highway projects in Maharashtra, with a focus on improving connectivity and speeding up infrastructure development.
The meeting looked at plans to upgrade several important road stretches, including widening key routes and developing major corridors that connect different parts of the state and beyond. These projects are expected to ease travel, reduce congestion, and support economic activity in the region.
Among the projects discussed were the expansion of routes such as Nagpur–Bhandara and Taloda–Burhanpur, along with key corridors linking areas like Gadchiroli, Raipur, Vizag, and Nagpur.
The minister also reviewed nine road projects planned under the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model, covering over 500 km of highways. This approach is aimed at bringing in private investment to accelerate construction and improve efficiency.
Officials said the overall goal is to build faster, safer, and more reliable road networks that can support trade, improve mobility, and contribute to the state’s growth.
