Surat-Mumbai will be closer than Saurashtra!
This project will reduce the distance between Saurashtra to Surat and Mumbai. Currently, if you want to go from Saurashtra to Surat, you have to go via Bagodra or Vadodara. The distance from Jamnagar to Surat on this route is about 527 km. Now if the new Jamnagar-Bhavnagar-Bharuch Expressway is built, the distance between Jamnagar and Surat will be reduced to 392 km. Similarly, the distance between Rajkot-Surat, which is currently 436 km, will be reduced by 117 km to 319 km. While the current distance of Surat from Somnath via Vadodara is 627 km, it will be reduced by 215 km to just 412 km.
Bhavnagar to Surat in just 2 hours
Bhavnagar to Surat in Saurashtra will benefit the most, because the journey from Bhavnagar to Surat is still long and covers a distance of 357 km. If a new expressway is built and a 30 km long bridge is built in the sea, then Bharuch can be reached directly from Bhavnagar in 1 hour. Also, the distance from Bhavnagar to Surat will be reduced by 243 km. The distance between the two cities will be only 114 km, which will take less than two hours. Due to the reduction in distance, billions of rupees will be saved in vehicle fuel. Apart from this, the environment will also benefit from the ban on the smoke coming out of vehicles.
This will be the longest bridge in the country
New Jamnagar Surat Expressway
If everything goes well and the project is implemented, then Gujarat will have the longest bridge in the country. A 30 km long bridge will be built in the sea from Bhavnagar to Bharuch. At present, Atal Setu of Mumbai is the longest bridge in the country, whose length is 21.8 km. This will make the bridge between Bhavnagar and Bharuch about 8 km long. Along with this, this bridge built on the sea can become a center of attraction for tourists and will also give a unique thrill.
