All You Need To Know About This Upcoming Expressway
The upcoming Beawar-Bharatpur Greenfield Expressway is a key infrastructure project of Rajasthan’s ‘Vision 2047’ plan. In the 2024 state budget, the government announced the construction of nine greenfield expressways across Rajasthan, with the aim to complete five of these expressways by 2030!
The upcoming expressway will begin at NH-58 in Beawar and connect to NH-21 in Bharatpur. It will pass through important towns such as Gulabpura, Kekri, Todaraisingh, Uniara, Tonk, and Niwai. Reportedly, it takes around 7 to 8 hours to cover the 370 km distance between Beawar and Bharatpur right now. Once the new expressway is constructed, the travel time is expected to be significantly reduced. This is mainly because the expressway will bypass densely populated areas and feature fewer turns. It will allow vehicles to travel at higher speeds and enhance overall travel efficiency.
We can’t wait to see this upcoming expressway make travel easier and more convenient for the people. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.
