The six-lane greenfield project corridor aims to improve travel efficiency and is expected to reduce travel time by 17 hours and reduce travel distance by 201 km.
Nashik-Solapur-Akkalkot greenfield corridor route
The greenfield corridor from Nashik to Akkalkot will provide connectivity to key regional cities such as Nashik, Ahilyanagar and Solapur, and connect to Kurnool. It is also proposed to be connected to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway near Vadhawan port junction, the Agra-Mumbai corridor in Nashik at its junction with NH-60 (Adegaon) and the Samruddhi Mahamarg in Pangri (near Nashik).
Reduced travel time, distance
The primary objective of the proposed six-lane greenfield project corridor with access control is to improve travel efficiency. It is expected that travel time will be reduced by 17 hours and travel distance will be reduced by 201 km. The proposed corridor will provide connectivity from the West Coast to the East Coast. From Chennai port end, four-lane corridors are already in operation from Chennai to Hasapur (MH border) via Thiruvallur, Renigunta, Kadappa and Kurnool (700 km long).
Speed limit Nashik-Solapur-Akkalkot corridor
The six-lane, access-controlled greenfield corridor with tolling will support average vehicle speeds of 60 km/h with a design speed of 100 km/h. This will reduce total travel time from 31 hours to approximately 17 hours, while providing safer, faster and uninterrupted connectivity for both passenger and freight vehicles.
The project will generate around 251.06 lakh man-days of direct employment and 313.83 lakh man-days of indirect employment. The project will also create additional employment through an increase in economic activity in the area surrounding the proposed corridor.
