Nagpur: Working on a 50km section on the National Highway Nagpur-Katol will begin in a month because the National Highway Authority (NHAI) has received stage-I permission under the Forest Conservation Act (FCA), 1980.
It is estimated that the cost of RS1,350 Crore, the highway will connect Kalmeshwar and end on Katol.
The highway is one of the main links that connects Nagpur-Katol-Warud-Amravati and further Madhya Pradesh.
The highway (NH-353J) starts at 13 km from The Zero Mile near Fetri T-Point Junction.
5km congestion between Naka and Fetri will be left if the road starts from the outer ring road.

The first phase is designed with the view that the highway traffic will erase to The outer ring road (ORR) and then followed it without entering the city.
“Jichkar said,” The Aurangabad body has been resolved to complete the project after the tender process.
We comply with the requirements specified in stage-I and have deposited the Net Present Value (NPV) for more than 14 Hectares of Forest Land Transfer.
“Jichkar said,” The road from Katol has widened to four lanes.
The road is mostly orange producing the belt and will help the orange industry.
Gradation of two routes that exist to four paths with paved shoulders will facilitate better transportation in terms of traffic movements that are fast and jam freely and will also make Take an increase in contact people in the nearest cities.
