The Six-Laning of National Highway-19 section from Palsit to Dankuni is a major infrastructure initiative aimed at strengthening connectivity in West Bengal.
Spanning 63.83 km across the districts of Purba Bardhaman, Hooghly and Howrah, the project has been developed as a modern 6-lane divided carriageway to improve travel efficiency and accommodate growing traffic demand. With key infrastructure elements including major bridges, flyovers, railway overbridges, vehicular underpasses, pedestrian facilities and truck lay-bys, the corridor enhances safety, traffic flow and operational efficiency.
The project strengthens connectivity to NH-16 and NH-12, improving access to Kolkata and Haldia Ports, while supporting industrial clusters in Dankuni, Singur, Hooghly and Durgapur. It also improves connectivity to important destinations such as Tarkeshwar, benefiting commuters, freight operators and tourists.
