Govt to increase the length of the national highways to 2 lakh km: Nitin Gadkari

10 Feb 2016 Evaluate

Road, Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has stated that the government has decided to increase the length of the national highways to 2, 00,000 km, in a way to decongest traffic in the country. Gadkari highlighted that at present, the country has 96,000 km national highways or 52 lakh road length in the country. As much as 40 per cent of the traffic moves on these 2 per cent national highways and as a result accidents take place. Three lakh people got injured and 1.5 lakh are killed in these accidents.

Further he said that, in order to save lives of people and diversify traffic, the government has decided to extend national highways from 96,000 km to two lakh km as nearly 70 per cent to 80 per cent traffic of the country move on this. He said that a formula based on vehicular traffic has been worked out according to which four-lane, six-lane and express highway would be constructed. The Minister further said that in Uttar Pradesh total length of national highways was 8,483 km and in the next two months we have decided to expand this 8,483 km to 17,000 km which is double. He said that two new highways would be developed in UP, first is east-west highway on which we are going to spend Rs 1,400 crore, this will reduce Delhi's traffic by 50 per cent. The second one is from Delhi to Dasna, which would be 14 lane, a first time in the country.

Earlier the minister had stressed upon increasing the number of express highways in the country and said the strength of national highways will be raised to 1.5 lakh km by December. He said that his ministry was aiming at raising the daily road building to 30 km by March end.
