Gadkari Approves ₹2,503 Crore Gujarat Road Package Including ₹2,125.55 Crore NH-351G Upgrade and Wadia, Jetpur Bypasses
Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has approved road projects worth ₹2,502.91 crore in Gujarat. The package covers the NH-351G upgrade and construction of the Wadia and Jetpur bypasses.
The NH-351G upgrade covers a 196 km stretch between Nageshri, Amreli and Chotila. Estimated cost is ₹2,125.55 crore, and the project will be developed under the Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM). Most of the highway will be upgraded to a 2-lane road with paved shoulders. Selected stretches will be 4-laned, including the Amreli Bypass, the Jasdan-Atkot-Babra section and the highway segment through Chotila city.
The second project, at ₹377.36 crore, covers the Wadia Bypass and Jetpur Bypass, including the Thanagalol realignment, on NH-351. The total length is 20.44 km. Once completed, the bypasses will give a continuous 2-lane highway with paved shoulders. NH-351 connects Mahuva near Pipavav Port to Jetpur on NH-27, linking to the East-West Corridor.
The NH-351G upgrade will strengthen connectivity between Amreli, Rajkot and Surendranagar. The source says it is expected to improve freight movement and access to key economic corridors across Gujarat.
The source does not name the implementing agency, and it gives no bidding schedule, construction period or contractors.
