The project for six lane access controlled greenfield highway from Rajasthan/Gujarat Border to Santalpur section of NH-754A is in full progress.
The stretch is the part of Amritsar-Jamnagar Economic Corridor in Gujarat under Bharatmala Pariyojana Phase-1. It is being built at a project cost of Rs 2,030 crore.
Once the project is completed, the travel time within this section will reduce by two hours.
The stretch would facilitate easy movement of border forces/armed forces/military vehicles etc as it is closer to Indo-Pak Border.
