The length of the highway four paths or above doubled in 10 years

New Delhi: The total length of 4-lanes or above the NH stretch has more than doubled in the last 10 years and the maximum growth has been recorded between 2018 and 2021 when 9,000 km from the NH extended to this category, official data shows.
The part of the NH stretches less than two lanes has fallen, indicating that a sharper focus on a broader building is the result that produces results.
In accordance with official data, the total length of the highway on May 31 is 29,693 km, which is 21% of the entire network 1.39 lakh Km NH compared to 29% in 2018.
It also shows that there has been a significant increase in the length of Twolane or Two-and-a-half lane NHS in recent years.
But the most significant increase has occurred in the four path segment up.
Data also shows that while the annual average increase in four or more NH lines stretched nearly 800 km between 2011 and 2015, this rose to 2,233 km during the 2015-18 period.
But in the past three years, the average annual increase is 3,000 km.
“Now there is a greater focus on a wider highway, Greenfield Expressways and economic corridors.
We will see a quantum leap from a complete stretch below this category in 2024,” said a highway ministry official.
Meanwhile, in the recent trend increasing competition among companies to use highway projects which quote low prices, Minister of Union Highways Nitin Gadkari said this because of the era when several big players in this sector created a cartel.
