#NewIndia: The Heart of Incredible Infrastructure!

Giving major boost to connectivity in #MadhyaPradesh, the four laning of the stretch from Rewa-Katni-Jabalpur-Lakhnadon has been operational since August 2020. #PragatiKaHighway #GatiShakti

This ~288 KM stretch has been built at a total cost of INR 4,345 Cr. The section passes through 5 major districts in the state of Madhya Pradesh namely Rewa, Satna, Katni, Jabalpur and Seoni. #PragatiKaHighway #GatiShakti

Due to better road geometrics and riding quality, the travel time between major districts of Madhya Pradesh, that is Jabalpur, Seoni, Katni, Satna and Rewa has been reduced to 1/4th of the original time. #PragatiKaHighway #GatiShakti

Also, construction of this highway has resulted in elimination of 13 identified blackspots resulting in reduction of road accidents by ~25%. #PragatiKaHighway #GatiShakti

The project on the highway stretch includes construction of new 2 lane 847 m long bridge on Narmada River (Tilwara Bridge) having 22 spans of 38.5 m each with PSC I girders and pile foundations. #PragatiKaHighway #GatiShakti

The construction of this stretch has resulted in better connectivity to religious and tourist locations such as Maa Sharda mandir in Maihar, UNESCO World Heritage site - Bhedaghat in Jabalpur. #PragatiKaHighway #GatiShakti

Further, the project has also unfolded new avenues for economic growth in the region by providing improved and better connectivity to the State of Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra. #PragatiKaHighway #GatiShakti

The 21st Century is the Century of #NewIndia that has incredible infrastructure & aims to be the 'Infrastructure Hub of The World'. #PragatiKaHighway #GatiShakti

Taking forward this vision, our country is witnessing unprecedented infrastructural transformation under the leadership of Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji & ushering 'Prosperity Through Connectivity'. #PragatiKaHighway #GatiShakti
