Tunnel will reduce bottlenecked traffic at Mohaniya Ghat
Work is nearly complete on Churhat bypass including the Twin Tunnel on the Rewa-Sidhi section of NH 75E in Madhya Pradesh, says Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari in a series of tweets on 18 Oct 2022.
Moving forward with the vision of sustainable development and ensuring the harmonious coexistence of Man, Nature & Wildlife, this bypass has a twin tunnel that will result in zero interference to movement of wildlife in the forest, he said.
As a result of the diversion of traffic, the natural habitat where ‘White Tiger Mohan’ lived, has been found to be restored, said the Minister. A suitable number of Underpasses will reduce possibilities for road accidents and ensure road safety.
The construction of the tunnel will reduce bottlenecked traffic at Mohaniya Ghat and provide smooth transit, he added.
The construction of Twin Tube Tunnel has reduced distance between Rewa to Sidhi by about 7 km. It will also reduce the travel time by 45 minutes.
Gadkari underlined, “Transforming New India with Sustainability is the hallmark of our Good Governance.” fiinews.com
