The National Highways Authority of India has undertaken upgradation and improvement of National Highway- 4B (new NH-348,548) and State Highway-54 (new NH- 348A) at an investment of ₹3,500 crore, informed Union Transport Minister, Nitin Gadkari, adding that these highways will be upgraded through multiple road linkage projects, connecting JNPT (Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust) with the hinterland road network. The minister said that the projects, catering to huge traffic volumes of approximately 48 lakhs, will substantially reduce the travel time as well as vehicle operating cost, besides bolstering the economic development of the region owing to growth of exports and connectivity with Navi Mumbai International Airport. The two grade separators at Karal Phata and Gavan Phata will also speed up lane interchange and connect the national and state highways. The minister added that the government is committed to port-led development through construction of a world class road network.
