Indian highways will be on par with US by 2024

According to Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, India's highway infrastructure would be on par with that of the US by 2024 thanks to work being done in a time-bound "mission mode" that includes building green motorways and rail over bridges.

He claimed that "Bharatmala 2" will likely receive cabinet approval soon and, whenever it does, will be in compliance with the needs of a reliable infrastructure for the nation.

Railway overpasses are being built this year at a cost of Rs 160 billion, which will rise to Rs 500 billion in five years, according to the Minister of Road Transport and Highways.

Gadkari stated that "93% construction on the Kailash Mansarovar project has been finished" in reference to the Kailash Mansarovar motorway via Pithoragarh.

The journey time will be shortened by many days once this project is finished, allowing pilgrims on the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra to skip the challenging trek across dangerous high-altitude terrain.

Currently, travelling to Kailash Mansarovar via Sikkim or Nepal takes two to three weeks.
