PM Modi Lays Foundation for Ahmedabad-Mehsana Road Upgrade and Metro Extensions
Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid foundation stones for two major infrastructure projects in Gujarat: the Ahmedabad-Mehsana Road upgrade and the Ahmedabad Metro Phase 2 extensions. The road project will widen State Highway-41 from four to eight lanes at an estimated cost of Rs 2,600 crore, aiming to improve connectivity and reduce congestion. The metro expansions, costing over Rs 3,200 crore, will add 9.36 km of new routes connecting the airport and GIFT City, enhancing urban transit options. Both projects are expected to boost travel efficiency and regional development.
