Udaipur, January 4, 2025 - The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has sanctioned Rs 260 crore  for improvement of road on the Udaipur-Pindwara National Highway 27. This will provide significant relief to commuters along that 105-km stretch and curb the frequent accidents that occur on the Udaipur-Pindwara highway.

The move is part of the efforts by the authorities to improve all accident-prone routes which need immediate rectification for the safety of the public and travellers. Four months ago, the Ministry had approved Rs 1 billion for the improvement of accident-prone areas.

Additionally, Rs 100 crore has been allocated for the repair of the 11 black spots on the highway, and the tender process for this work is complete. Certain locations on National Highway 27 have been identified as black spots for accidents, and immediate solutions are found to be necessary.
