MoRTH approves Aurangabad-Shirdi road widening project

MoRTH
The road between Aurangabad and Shirdi will be widened into four-lanes for which construction work is slated to start shortly once the ongoing road projects in and around Aurangabad are completed. The locals were demanding a super-expressway connecting Aurangabad with Shirdi for quite some time to facilitate the large number of devotees going to Shirdi via Aurangabad by road. Although the distance between the two is just over 100km, it takes a long time to reach Shirdi due to the bad roads. The improved road connectivity will increase tourist flow in the Aurangabad, Shirdi and Ajanta-Ellora circuit. In addition, a plan to bring water from Tapi, Damanganga and Pinjar rivers to Marathwada through Ahmednagar and Nashik districts will help end water woes in the region.
