The central government has given top priority to the construction of Vadodara-Mumbai Expressway,Union Minister of State for Road Transport and Highways Tushar Chaudhary said on Friday. “The project will be awarded after meeting requirements, including clearance and guidelines suggested by the apex court,” he said.
The 400-km expressway will cost Rs.27,000 crore, of which Rs.10,000 crore will be spent on land acquisition. “In 2006, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs had approved construction of 1,000 km of expressways on seven stretches spread over 10 states,” Chaudhary said.
The dedicated corridor between the country’s financial capital and one of Gujarat’s main cities was among the proposals, he said. “The corridor, on NH 8, has high density and thus will be given the top most priority,” he said.
