Govt Approves Rs 4,415.6 Crore NH-347B Upgrade Project in Madhya Pradesh
The approved project includes the upgradation of the 125.01-km Hiwarkhedi–Roshni–Ashapur–Rudhy section from an intermediate lane to a two-lane highway with paved shoulders. It also covers the widening of the existing two-lane Deshgaon–Julwania section, spanning 108.643 km, into a four-lane highway.
The project is aimed at improving connectivity, enhancing road safety and facilitating smoother movement of passenger and freight traffic across the region.
Once completed, the upgraded NH-347B corridor is expected to strengthen transport infrastructure in Madhya Pradesh, improve logistics efficiency and support economic development by providing better connectivity to industrial, agricultural and commercial centres.
The proposed upgradation of the Hiwarkhedi-Roshni-Ashapur-Rudhy & Deshgaon-Julwaniya Section of NH-347B in Madhya Pradesh will address severe geometric deficiencies, sharp curves, and congestion in built-up areas across Betul, Khandwa, Khargone & Barwani district. An extended Greenfield Bypass of Khargone district of 16.20 Km length will be developed as part of instant project. The project will increase average travel speeds, reduce travel time, and improve overall road safety, fuel efficiency, and vehicle operating costs, thereby enhancing regional mobility and socio-economic development.
The project will provide seamless connectivity to key economic, social, and logistics nodes across Madhya Pradesh. The upgraded corridor will enhance multi-modal integration by connecting with 06 PM Gati-Shakti Economic Nodes (01 Textile Cluster, 02 Mega Food Park, 01 Industrial park, 02 Super Thermal Power Plants), 5 social nodes (02 Aspirational Districts- Khandwa & Barwani, 03 Tribal Districts-Betul, Khandwa, Khargone) and 5 Logistic Nodes (02 Major Railway Stations, 02 Airports, 01 MMLP), thereby facilitating faster movement of goods and passengers across the region.
