The Golden Quadrilateral is India's longest highway network, with a total length of 5,846 km. It ranks fifth on the list of the world's longest highways and is the dream project of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who laid the foundation for it in 1999. The six-lane upgrade will significantly enhance the capacity and efficiency of the Golden Quadrilateral, which is an essential component of India's transportation infrastructure.
