Rajkot–Jetpur Six-Lane Highway In Gujarat To Be Ready By September 2026

The Gujarat government has directed authorities to expedite work on the long-awaited six-lane highway connecting Rajkot and Jetpur.

Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has issued instructions to multiple departments to collaborate and ensure the corridor is fully operational by September 2026, according to a DeshGujarat report.

The highway project, a vital artery for regional commerce and travel, currently sees approximately 25,000 vehicles navigating through it daily.

The project's timely completion is expected to drastically ease congestion and improve connectivity.

Progress on the complex network of bridges, which is critical to the highway's functionality, is well underway.

Four of the 30 planned bridges are reportedly already open to traffic.

Construction on an additional 11 is slated for completion by December 2025, with the final 15 structures due to be finished by June of the next year.

The push follows a high-level meeting convened in Gandhinagar on 29 August, which brought together officials from the National Highway Authority, Gujarat Gas, GETCO, the Revenue Department, and other key utility agencies.

In a related development, the contracting firm, Varah Agency, has faced financial penalties totalling Rs 30 lakh for inadequate traffic management during construction.

The company has also been tasked with carrying out comprehensive pothole repairs along the existing stretch which is already in progress.
