Gadkari inaugurates and lays foundation stone of 3 NH projects worth Rs 1206 Cr in West Bengal's Siliguri

Siliguri (West Bengal)/IBNS: Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari Thursday inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of 3 NH projects worth Rs 1206 crore in Siliguri, nearly 600 km from Kolkata, in North Bengal.

Addressing the gathering Gadkari said the inaugurated projects include 2-lane ROB in replacement of Level Crossing at km 615.5 of NH-31 (Oodlabari) and would give a significant boost to international connectivity and ROB in lieu of Level Crossing at km 661.100 on NH-31 (Maynaguri).

He said it would help to reduce accidents due to improved safety features and bring down travelling distance and time.

Gadkari said the development of these projects will lead to industrial and economic growth in West Bengal as well as eastern parts of India with significant inroads towards the agricultural sector.

Giving a major fillip to traffic decongestion in Siliguri, the foundation stone was laid today to upgrade the NH-31 (New NH-10) to 4/6-lane highway with both side service roads from km 569.258 to km 581.030 (end of AH-02 project on NH- 31 near Shivmandir to Sevoke Army Cantonment).

It would boost connectivity to North Eastern India and neighbouring countries like Nepal, Bhutan, and Bangladesh.
