Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Monday inaugurated 10 national highway projects of 292 km worth Rs 8,181 crore in Solapur, Maharashtra.

The minister said these road projects, which have the potential to bring Solapur district and its environs into the mainstream of the country, will be important for the well-being and development of the people of Solapur

He said these projects will help in streamlining the traffic in the city and reducing the incidence of accidents and environmental pollution. It will be easier to connect the rural areas of the district with the city, he added.

Gadkari said strengthening the road network is of great importance for the Solapur district which has important temples like Siddheshwar Temple, Akkalkot and Pandharpur. 

He said that built with these factors in mind, these highway projects will facilitate access to spiritual sites in the city and district and will also help in smoothing the transportation of agricultural goods.
