Nitin Patel said 6-lane conversion works for entire Sarkhej – Gandhinagar – Chiloda highway are in progress and inauguration of two flyovers today is part of the first phase of this project. He said, thanks to Narendrabhai and Amitbhai, approval to Rs. 800 crore six lane conversion and flyover construction projects on Sarkhej – Gandhinagar – Chiloda road was given without provision of toll tax which is rare and unique favor to the State.

Chief Minister Rupani pointed out that flyovers inaugurated today are six lane wide which is uncommon generally.

He pointed out that works on two over bridges opened today have completed before time. He said, these are important infrastructure links.

This road connects Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, it connects Saurashtra and Gandhinagar, it connects Saurashtra and North Gujarat, it connects Gujarat and Rajasthan. Speedy completion of this road project is crucial. This is just start and 7 more flyovers are going to be constructed. Gujarat has maintained first position in the domain of infrastructure.
