Gujarat: HM Amit Shah Inaugurates 4.03-km Elevated Corridor Linking ISKCON Junction To Sanand Flyover

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday inaugurated the 4.03-km-long ISKCON-Sanand Elevated Corridor in Ahmedabad. The six-lane project, built for Rs 464 crore, aims to ease traffic congestion and improve connectivity along the Sarkhej-Gandhinagar Highway.

The corridor connects ISKCON Junction to Sanand Flyover on National Highway 147. It is expected to reduce travel time and fuel consumption by improving traffic flow at busy junctions, including Karnavati Club, Prahladnagar and YMCA.

Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Minister of State for Urban Development Darshna Vaghela, Ahmedabad Mayor Hitesh Barot and MLAs Amit Thaker and Babubhai Patel attended the inauguration.

The Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways constructed the 26.8-metre-wide corridor. It includes a 2,940-metre viaduct and 1,090 metres of approach roads.

The project features several road safety measures and modern traffic management facilities. Authorities have installed noise barriers along a 5,880-metre stretch to reduce noise pollution.

The corridor also includes 297 streetlights, an Advanced Traffic Management System, overhead and cantilever gantries, safety signboards, cat’s eyes and anti-glare measures.

Authorities have additionally developed white-topping service roads, ranging from seven to 14 metres in width, to ensure smoother traffic movement.

The elevated corridor aims to provide safer and faster connectivity between Sarkhej and Gandhinagar. It is expected to reduce vehicle operating costs and ease pressure on one of Ahmedabad’s busiest traffic routes.

Ahmedabad Municipal Commissioner Banchhanidhi Pani, municipal officials, local councillors and social and political leaders also attended the inauguration.
