The Indian government has approved two major highway projects in Varanasi aimed at improving transportation infrastructure and reducing urban congestion. These include a 43.2-km elevated corridor along the Varuna riverbank connecting NH-31 with the Varanasi Ring Road, and a 46.04-km elevated corridor linking NH-19 with the Varanasi Ring Road along the Ganga riverbank. Both projects will be executed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) using the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM). The new corridors are expected to reduce travel times, enhance road safety, and boost tourism and regional economic development. The projects are part of broader efforts to modernize Varanasi’s infrastructure and align with national transportation planning initiatives.
