Looking at it from safety and health aspects, the highway will have ambulances and patrolling vehicles situated every 30 kilometres in case of an emergency.
An official involved in the project said to the Times of India,” We have used anti-glare blades in the median of the road to prevent high-beam light impacting vehicles coming from other directions. For every 30km, we have a crane, ambulance and patrolling vehicle. The video incident detection system is already operational to deal with any emergency.
As per a report, for the construction of the highway, a total budget of Rs 5,108 crore was decided by the central government. The width of the lane is fixed at 170 metres and approximately 122 bridges and underpasses have been constructed on the highway so far.
