Ujjain-Garoth Highway expected to reduce travel times significantly

The Ujjain-Garoth four-lane highway is 90% complete and expected to open in three months. This new route will significantly reduce travel time to Delhi, Mumbai, and Vadodara, connecting Ujjain with the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. The project, costing Rs 2,660 crore, faced delays due to land issues. It was launched in November 2022 and was initially set for completion by July 2024. Construction is divided into three sections, managed by different companies. The highway will pass through 89 villages and allow speeds of up to 100 km/h, cutting the journey from Ujjain to Garoth to 1 to 1.5 hours.
