The National Highway 316 connecting Bhubaneswar and Puri will be expanded from 4 lanes to 6 lanes. A high-level meeting chaired by Principal Secretary Sanjay Kumar Singh discussed the construction of a 67 km road expansion and an 11 km high-speed elevated corridor from Saptasati Chhak to Lingipur. The project includes service roads, way-side amenities, and a dedicated utility corridor for essential services like power, water, and gas to withstand cyclones. This development aims to reduce traffic congestion and travel time, keeping in mind the upcoming Puri airport and increasing population. https://odia.oneindia.com/odisha/bhubaneswar-puri-nh-to-be-6-lane-high-speed-elevated-corridor-to-be-constructed-124107.html #creator program
