The Gujarat government has prepared a blueprint for a seamless peripheral road project running all along its borders with other states and its coastline.<\/p>\n
The 3,533km project, which will fill in missing linkages between national and state highways along the states borders, is expected to cost Rs 2,000 crore. The government intends to complete theParikrama Pathproject in about two years.
The project blueprint breaks up Parikrama Path into three corridors. The first will connect eastern belt roads with theStatueof UnitySaputara link road. The second will extend from the South Gujarat coastline to Saurashtra and Kutch. The third will run along the international border inKutchand cover theNorth Gujaratperiphery of the state.
According to sources in the government, 50% of these stretches of road (national, state and minor) are already existing. The missing linkages will be added in a phased manner. We expect to complete the project in two years. Once completed, it will not only boost tourism, but will also ensure connectivity with and lead to greater development, said sources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
