Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis acknowledged the initial challenges in constructing the outer ring road. However, he commended the accelerated progress achieved in the last two years. Fadnavis highlighted the significance of the outer ring road in alleviating traffic concerns, especially for those traveling from the Samriddhi Highway. This infrastructure development ensures smooth transportation through the outer ring road, accessible via ‘Rim Transport.’
Project Overview: Collaboration and Financial Investment
The project, executed in collaboration with the National Highway Authority of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways of the Central Government, boasts a total length of 33.50 km. With a budget provision of 856 crore, the outer ring road features three flyovers, two major bridges, and 22 bus-way shelter centers spanning two and a half kilometers. Bamboo crash barriers have been installed to enhance safety, and a speed limit of 100 km per hour is imposed, as indicated in the National Highway Authority’s informative presentation.
In conclusion, the Nagpur to Butibori Road upgrade marks a transformative phase in the city’s infrastructure.
