The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has given its approval for four laning of the Solapur-Yedeshi section of National Highway-211 in Maharashtra under the National Highways Development Project (NHDP) Phase IV on Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT-Annuity) in Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) pattern.

The cost is estimated to be Rs.1,057.82 crore including the cost of land acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitation and other pre-construction activities. The total length of the road will be approximately 99 kms.

The project will expedite improvement of infrastructure in the State of Maharashtra and also reduce the time and cost of travel for traffic, particularly heavy traffic, plying between Solapur and Yedeshi. This road stretch runs between the Solapur-Yedeshi section of NH-211.

Development of this stretch will also help in uplifting the socio-economic condition of this region of the State of Maharashtra. It will also increase employment potential for local labourers for project activities.
