Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has sanctioned Rs 20 crore to kick‑start the first phase of the Visavadar bypass road project, aiming to ease traffic congestion in the town.
Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has approved a funding package of Rs 20 crore for the initial phase of the Visavadar bypass road. The allocation was announced as part of the state government's ongoing effort to improve regional connectivity.
The bypass is planned to skirt the town of Visavadar in Junagadh district, providing an alternate route for heavy vehicles and long‑distance traffic that currently passes through the town centre. Officials expect the new alignment to reduce travel time and alleviate congestion on existing streets.
The project will be executed by the Gujarat State Road Development Corporation, with the funds drawn from the state’s infrastructure budget. While detailed timelines have not been disclosed, the first phase is slated to begin soon, focusing on land acquisition and preliminary earth‑work.
State authorities view the bypass as a catalyst for local economic activity, anticipating smoother logistics for agricultural produce and small‑scale industries that rely on road transport in the region.
