March 1, 2024: Union minister for road transport and highways, Nitin Gadkari has approved Rs 3549.48 crore for construction and strengthening of various national highways projects in Madhya Pradesh.
According to a post on microblogging X, Gadkari mentioned that an allocation of Rs 776.19 crore has been approved for four-laning of 41 km of National Highway-146 B (NH146 B)-Shahganj Bypass end to Badi Package-IV in Sehore and Raisen districts of Madhya Pradesh under hybrid annuity mode.
The proposed project corridor will reduce travel time to reach Jabalpur, Bhopal, Betul and Indore cities. It will connect various urban nodes by connecting to National Highway (NH) and State Highway (SH) networks and other important city roads.

The proposed alignment connects NH146 and NH46 while also providing connectivity to Bhopal Airport. Making this route six-lane will help in reducing congestion in Ayodhya Bypass/Bhopal city.
Also, an approval has been given for the construction of 34 km long Chasale six lane Indore Western Bypass under Hybrid Annuity Mode under Package-1 at a cost of Rs 1,534.7 crore. Gadkari said, the proposed construction of bypass for traffic on National Highways will help in reducing the traffic of Bandur City and will also help in reducing the accidents by stopping the movement of commercial traffic in the city.
