Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for two important four-laning packages of NH-56 in Gujarat, covering a total length of 107.67 km with an investment of ₹4,583 crore. The corridors will upgraded into modern four-lane National Highways with paved shoulders, enhancing safety, travel efficiency and connectivity across Chhota Udepur, Narmada, Bharuch, Surat and Tapi districts.
By strengthening links between tribal and rural regions and major urban and industrial centres, the corridor is expected to boost tourism to destinations such as the Statue of Unity, Sardar Sarovar Dam, Jambughoda and Shoolpaneshwar Sanctuaries, while also creating new opportunities for trade, employment and sustainable economic growth across South Gujarat.
